Combine Objects

Combine Objects

Select the graphical objects you want to combine, then on the Arrange menu, point to Combine and choose one of the following:

Command	Description
Group	Groups together objects that you select as a single group.
Ungroup	Separates a grouped set of objects into individual objects.
Connect Closed	Connects the ends of a joined line of two or more segments into a closed object that can be filled. Connect Closed can also apply to a curved line.
Connect Open	Connects multiple lines or joined lines without closing the ends into an object that cannot be filled.
Disconnect	Disconnects the selected objects.
Join	Creates a new shape by joining the selected objects together.
Intersect	Creates a new shape from the intersection of the selected objects.
Outline	Creates a new shape from the outline of the selected shapes.
Slice	Slices the selected closed shape with the selected open shape.

Combine commands (except for Group and Ungroup) can only be used for graphic objects that you create using the Draw tool and not shapes.
