    Default How to Group Paths in Pitstop Pro

    Hi Sir,
    How do I group a selection of paths so that I can simply copy,paste and move to other areas of the page? Thanks for any tips and help.

    I don't think there is a group feature. You'll have to use the selection tool and shift select the items you want to move as a group then use the move tool to move them together.

    The only advice I can give in that case is to be very careful selecting objects. Unfortunately, the way you're doing it is probably the only way to do it. Sorry there's not an easier answer, but sometimes, the only way is the hard way.

    Default Moving Items in Pitstop

    Make sure you view in wire frame - To see what you have grabbed, Also good to switch back and forth between views.
    Check out Neo from Enfocus. It's the Sh#t

    One way I accomplish this is to use the Enfocus Hide Selection tool - that is, I grab thing i DON"T want, go under edit - select Enfocus Hide Selection tool - then select more items, hide them - untill all i have left if what i want - i then select that, copy / paste or move it - then - under the Edit menu, select Enfocus Show All...

    hope that helps!

    There is no grouping function in PitStop. Using Michaels and Ox's tips are the best workable solution.

    I usually describe PitStop's editing tools that way. Some people get it, most don't.
