Carveco Tutorial: Grouping Vectors
Grouping vectors in Carveco allows you to manage multiple objects as a single unit. This simplifies selection, editing, and organization—especially in complex designs.
🔹 Step 1: Grouping Vectors
- Select the first object, then hold Shift and click additional objects.
- Click the Group icon on the left-hand toolbar.
- Grouped objects appear with a purple highlight when selected.
- Shortcut: Press Ctrl + G to group selected objects.
🔹 Step 2: Ungrouping Vectors
- Select the grouped objects.
- Hold down the group button on the left to reveal the Ungroup option from the flyout menu.
- Shortcut: Press Ctrl + U to ungroup.
🔹 Step 3: Using Right-Click Options
- Right-click a group to access grouping options.
- You’ll see:
- Ungroup Vectors – breaks one level of grouping.
- Ungroup All – completely flattens nested groups into individual vectors.
🔹 Step 4: Working with Nested Groups
- You can create a group within a group (e.g., group A and B, then group with C).
- Ungroup Vectors will only break the top-level group.
- Ungroup All is ideal for completely ungrouping everything back to individual elements.
🔹 Bonus: Selection Tips
- Grouped items must be fully enclosed by the selection box to be selected.
- Partial selection will not select part of a group.
- This helps avoid unintentional edits or selections.
Grouping vectors keeps your workspace organized and efficient—especially when working with layered designs or repeating patterns.
