A Positioning Mystery

[Frank Leahy]

Rob,

When you move an object in a group, the bounding rect of the group will 
change, which is what may be affecting you.

If you have geometry on for any of the items in the group, I highly 
recommend you turn them off and do the resizing yourself.  It won't 
take much code to write it yourself, and you won't have any funny 
side-effects.  Go through each item and make sure the geometry is off 
by clicking both the "scale selected object" and "position selected 
object" buttons, and then go back and it again, because I've seen them 
stay on even when you set them off.

I did this, and I've been happier ever since.  Personally I don't trust 
the geometry at all, unless it's position by, or a line that's scaling 
horizontally.  For groups, forget it.

Good luck,

-- Frank
