Adding existing object to group?

Have you already tried cutting and pasting your objects?

If not...  Copy the object you want to be in the group.  Select the group,
click the Edit Group button on the toolbar to start editing the group, and
paste the object.  It will now be part of your group. While editing any
group, you can select nested groups to edit those as well.


Or, using the message box...

If you want to create a new object in an existing group:

  create <object> in group "xyz"

If you want to copy an already existing object to a group:

  copy <object> to group "xyz"
