Grouping of objects?

[Michael Moser]

Can one group objects together, e.g. some box or ellipsis and some text that one has written into it?

Would be very convenient, if one wants to copy & paste (i.e. duplicate) multiple such items or if one wants to move them and wants to make sure, that they all get moved together.

Not possible. No such features.
It's one of the major shortcomings in ON, for sure ranking amonst the
Top 10.
It bothers me by the day and by the hour {siiiiigh}

It would urgently be needed.
But we can only hope for the next version.

Hi, this is indirectly related to the original post.

I found that I could not put pictures and text on the same line if I
merged the text and the picture.

However, I found such examples in the included tutorial and when I
copied that selection, I was able to move pictures in and out of the
text box whilst having text on the same line (but not on top of the
picture).

I was never able to make this happen from scratch.


Am I missing something (like a special text box function) or is this a
glitch?

The same in my side.
I just use *tables* in order to store text and images together.

I never came across a solution other then the workaround with a table
:-( :-(
