<para>
- While a set of objects is selected, you may still resize or modify a single object's
- properties without losing the currently selected set. To resize an object,
- place the mouse pointer over the desired handle of the object and drag the
- handle to resize. To view or change an object's properties, double-click anywhere
- on the object and the properties dialog box will display.

+ Due to limitations in the implementation some operations on single objects
+ in a selection were still only modifying the single object. Since dia 0.97
+ these inconsitency got resolved so the properties dialog allows to change
+ multiple objects properties at once - without first grouping them.
+ </para>
<para>
- For line objects, you may change the line's connection points and change the shape
- of the line while a line is part of a selected set. Just place the pointer on the
- desired handle of the line and drag it as needed.
+ Also the single objects handles change behaviour in a selection (shown by
+ slightly dimming them). Instead of resizing the single object they can just
+ be used to move the whole selection an align it on the grid, see
+ <link linkend="gridlines">snap to grid</link> for details.
