Nesting Objects?
Hi there - extremely new to Xara7, so I don't know if this is the right term. I am trying to understand this and think i am missing something.
I am rebuilding a site and have another url to post it to until i am done so I can work on it freely without business interruption. I know there are some things wrong (weird menu shadowing, etc..) but I'm just starting to play with the design.
One thing I can't figure out and is probably simple is - if you go to:
http://animalprops.com
and go down to the middle of the page below the slideshow, there is a square with a theatre curtain and text, photo, etc. along with some colored bars coming from the sides.
I built that in layers by using a square object, beveled it, added a photo, and another, etc...... I'll want that to become one item that i can move about together instead of moving one piece of it at a time. I can't figure out how to bind it together into a single object, or can't I?
Thanks!

Re: Nesting Objects?
Select all the objects that you want to include and GROUP them. Arrange > Group.
When working with a website, if you have something like that, Xara creates several images and this increases your file size and download time. If you group all but the text then everything except the text will be one image and the text will appear over this.

Oh my gosh - I agonized for hours and this worked in blink!
Thank you so much - this is a great forum, part of why I chose xara - as I continue along, I'll try to contribute as much as I take!
