The Difference Between Group and Combine

Group

Earlier I used CorelDRAW, I found two term, Group and Combine. At first I can't find the difference, because the view is almost the same, then finally I realized that those two things are different when we take a real closer look.

Group is "binding" two or more object become a cluster, but each object still maintaining their attributes such as Fill, Outline, etc. When we click once, automatically the other object included in the group will also be selected. With the grouping objects we can apply the same formatting, properties, and other changes to all the objects within the group at the same time. We can also make group other groups to create nested groups.

To group objects

1. Select the objects.
2. Click Arrange - Group.

The status bar indicates that a group of objects is selected You can select objects from different layers and group them; however, once grouped, the objects will be moved on the same layer. You can create a nested group by selecting two or more groups of objects and clicking Arrange - Group or right-click the selected objects then Group. The shortcut key for grouping object after we select the object is Ctrl + G.

Combine

Combine in this CorelDRAW term is to unite two or more objects become single object, and so the attribute for each object will be the same. Because of becoming single object, it can be edited its Node all at once.
You can combine rectangles, ellipses, polygons, stars, spirals, graphs, or text. CorelDRAW converts these objects to a single curve object. If you need to modify the attributes of an object that has been combined from separate objects, you can break apart the combined object. You can extract a subpath from a combined object to create two separate objects. You can also weld two or more objects to create a single object.

To combine objects
1.   Select the objects to be combined.
2.   Click Arrange - Combine.

Or in other way You select the objects and then right-click the selected objects then Combine. The shortcut key for grouping object after we select the object is Ctrl + L.

Well, quit simple isn't it? Below is the picture the difference. In the end Happy Coreling...
