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.

CorelDRAW History

In 1985, Dr. Michael Cowpland established Corel to sell Intel based desktop-publishing system. At first, Corel was established to intend as a research laboratory or we may say Corel was an abbreviation of Cowpland Research Laboratory.

In 1987, Corel recruited some software developer (programmer) to build a vector-based graphic software to be bundle in Corel Desktop-Publishing Package. Then the software was named CorelDraw launched in 1989.

CorelDraw was made for Windows Operating System coincided with the launching of Windows 3.1. Because of the TrueType was included in Windows 3.1, made Corel as an illustration software which has ability to use the avalaible fonts which no need an addtional software such as Adobe Type Writer
