RE: Grouping of objects

["Sarkar, Ambar" <ambar sarkar paradigm-works com>]

First of all, thanks everyone for your responses. 

Yes, the first part of my question was deliberately naïve just to make sure I did not miss anything too 
obvious. Some good did come out of it :)

Let me be clearer on what I am trying to do:

I am trying to create an app where I can 

a. Define my own composite object and save it as an object(icon) in my own sheet
b. Drag and drop the object from the sheet into the canvass and have it expands out as a collection of 
objects. 
c. Reduce clutter in the screen by creating composite objects, such that when double-clicked, will open a new 
layer or a sheet. This way, the sheets can remain generally hierarchical, and easy to navigate.

Of course, I understand this is indeed wishful, but it doesn't hurt to ask if it's already possible or in the 
works.

Once again, everything so far is much appreciated.

I'm wondering, too.

Good idea. The trunk version now shows the context menu also for multiple 
selected objects:
