Move shape with the rest of the group only. Protection?

[Mac]

I have like 6 shapes and group them together. Now I want to be able to move
this group around the page, but if I accidentally click twice an already
selected group - one of the inner shapes gets selcted and then I move this
shape only and away from the group. I figure that if I make all but one of
the shapes protected from selection, this 'double-click' behaviour almost
never happens. Is there a beter way to have movable groups o fshapes?

Hello Mac,

Checkout the SelectMode cell in the group shape's 'Group' ShapeSheet
section.

Is visGrpSelModeGroupOnly what you're after?

Best regards

John

Hi Mac,

Go to Format > Behavior. There's a "Group Behavior" area where you can set
the Selection Mode to "Group Only"
