Some questions on drawings (group, treat as drawing)

[Dan Orth]

Hi-

When I draw images ON detects it as text first. I then have to highlight it
and select treat as drawing. The only problem is that I can very rarly grab
all the image as it is around text and the line height won't let me. Can I
somehow specify I am drawing a drawing easily beforehand? Simmilarily, when
I draw different parts of the same image and select them all I would like to
be able to group them but I do not see that option in ON. I am forced to
move the image piece by piece which does not work as they cannot be on top
of one another and for resizing purposes it is horrible. I would also like
to be able to group different text into one "unit" for the purpose of moving
around the page. Does anyone know how to do any of this? Thank you in
advance! I would really appreciate some help!

-Dan

Tools Menu | Men Mode | Create Both Handwriting and
Drawing --> Will help ON determine the difference ahead
of time between text and drawings. At the very least it
will mean fewer times that you will have to convert back
and forth.

Any note container can be merged with another container
simply by dragging the container handle into another
container. Then the new (larger) container can be moved
around. Does that help?

I put buttons on the toolbar for all three pen modes: Drawing, Writing,
and Both. This way it is easy to switch modes. I find that the Both mode
doesn't work too very well for me.

Simmilarily, when
I draw different parts of the same image and select them all I would like to
be able to group them but I do not see that option in ON.

This is why I use Journal for most of my drawing and OneNote for my
handwritten notes. Journal has the grouping feature and the whole page is
one drawing rather than worrying about which drawing guide some mark may
end up in.
