Eskimo,
I hope you do not mind, I have changed your code a little bit. I added some CQL to find all other shapes the same size as the original one selected.
Happy Coding,

No offense taken, Shelby!
I considered doing that, but came down on the side of "expose them to the benefits of Select Same" instead.
Seeing both ways? Even better.
1 more issue with this design please help in that too
if i change size of business card of entire last row below shown issue comes up why?
this issue comes in top rows as well but not on every card thats why i mentioned only last row
How to"change size of business card of entire last row "? All the logic of the above presented code selects and groups only the shapes INSIDE THE SAME DIMENSIONS SHAPE as the initially selected one.
Besides that I can not understand what really happens... Can you post a link to that specific file behaving in that way? Maybe after testing it I will understand what do you mean and maybe why that behavior.

There is a link to the .CDR file in the opening post.
Some of the PowerClips use Rectangles; some of them use Curves. The ones that use Curves do not resize nicely.
I think this is a case where it is difficult to solve the problem because "the whole problem" - including a description of the desired end result - has not been defined well.
I was not careful, so I fell into the trap this time!
