Connect elements

[ddstiles]

I would like to connect different elements such as photos, on a shape, with text or a button and treat them as on when moving them on a page rather than having to move and place each item. It what draw programs do. I'm new here, so m,aybe haven't found this "device".

Re: Connect elements

I think you can already do this, a bit like you can in other applications, by lassoeing the two or three items and then dragging or copying. While lassoed they behave as one item.

Hi,
When you left click/drag & lasso, don’t forget to make sure the items you want to move are not locked as you will find only some items are able to be moved. (Go to edit & unlock all) Have made that mistake a few times.
You can also move items by holding down the shift key & clicking on the items you want to move to highlight them, and then hold down left mouse button without the shift key on one of the highlighted items & drag all of them to a new position.
