Group size

Post by MarcVanCauwenberghe » Thu Aug 15, 2013 10:00 am

Hi,

When you group together 1 or more objects, the group size (width, height) seem to be larger than the objects. Let me try to explain. Just take a one graphic control size it 50X50. When you group it you get a group size 58X58. Even if you apply Fit content. What is the reason behind this and can I get it so that the defauld group size is 50X50 (in this case).

Regards,
Marc

Hi Marc,

GROUPS also have a MARGIN property, well hidden in the Inspector under "Text formatting"!
Set this to 0 and that's it :-)


Best

Klaus
