managing grouped objects

managing grouped objects
Sat, 1 Mar 2008 03:48:18 +0000
I´m a new user of Freehand MX (I used to work with Freehand 10 before) and I 
have problems trying to change colors to grouped objects. I only can change 
colors or strokes selecting individual objects, but no when their are grouped. 
How can I solve this problem?  (forgive my english, I´m from Argentina)

Macromedia changed handling of grouped objects between 10 and MX. Now FreeHand
can handle a group like a single object, which is useful if you want to have for
example a thick cartoon like outer outline or apply an effect to the whole
group. But this makes editing individual grouped objects more difficult. If you
do not want to ungroup you have to subselect object for editing. This can be
done with subselecting, for example with the subselection tool i.e. 'white
arrow'.

 From Finland it looks that you are doing fine.
