create a master shape

Hi,

i've created a master shape by including several lines, circles,...

now i want that all these things grouped as only 1 shape.
I tried to use "Group" after selecting all shapes, but after this
'grouping' i still can select 1 particular line or circle and move it in
some other place within my sheet...

How can i do to make all these things works as 1 single shape ?

thanks a lot,
Alain

Select all the shapes and from the menu
Format - Behavior
in the group behavior section
select Group only

Thanks Paul... but it still does not work correctly :-(

i have 2 shapes : A and B.
B is over A and B is inside A.

if i enlarge A, B is enlarged also.
However, if i click on B, i can enlarge B without enlarging A... Worse B
can be larger than A. :-(

I'm lost...

I don't understand your configuration, but if you can still select shapes
within a group then the group shape probably did not get its selection
behavior set to Group Only.
