Does X7 now allow us to make multiple selections within a group? Does it allow for any other new editing features which can now be used on group members, such as transparency editing, or the measurement tool? This is the one thing that puts me off Corel--not being able to tweak or edit individual items or groups of items within a group. Also not being able to use the knife tool once an image has been sized/scaled.
Hoping to hear this has been changed since my X5...:-)...???

Thanks Ronny!
I always thought the knife business was very strange. I run into this problem regularly and remain surprised it has not been fixed. I remember foruming about it, but it might have been another forum. It was one of those threads about CorDrw vs. Illustrator......
Hi Janet, Sorry, I should have been more clear. By this I mean that if you have multiple groups grouped together you cannot select a child object from one group and one from the other. Same as when trying to select a child object in one group and another object outside of the group. The behaviour for editing transparency on an object that has a dimension applied has improved in X7. Although it is not possible to interactively edit the transparency, the property bar or Edit Transparency dialog can be used for editing. In X5 the property bar controls were all greyed, however in X7 they are available. Hope this helps, Sharon
Time for a rethink regarding groups.

Like it too, it has been with me for some years now.Helps me remember to think outside the box, instead of stubbornly bang my head against the wall and insist doing everything exactly the same way I did yesterday, even though conditions around me may change.
