Selecting grouped objectsOnce objects are grouped, selecting any part of the group with the selection tool or the lasso tool selects the entire group. If you are unsure whether an object is part of a group, select it with the selection tool. The direct-selection tool and direct-lasso tool let you select a single path or object that is part of one group or several groups. If you have groups of objects within other groups, you can select the next group in the grouping hierarchy by using the group-selection tool. Each successive click adds another subset of grouped objects to the selection. ![]() Three groups: Group A is part of group B, which in turn is part of group C. To select grouped objects with the group-selection tool:
![]() First click selects an object (left). Second click selects group A (right). ![]() Third click selects next group, which is group B (left). Fourth click selects group C (right). |
