I’d like to see the shapes with the same editing options as groups i.e. **Adding** selecting **hiding**. I’m currently working with about 1000 splines and its slowing down. I’m only working with a fraction of that at any time, but the numbers growing rapidly. I’m copying / pasting a honeycomb grid. If I could rename different parts of my drawing, I could hide them when not in use.

I’d also like to select groups of shapes in the transform section without having to select individual splines (especially when a mis-tap could accidentally screw things up).

And I’d also love to be able to use the undo function from within the trimming tool 🙂

Hi- we have plans to recreate the groups section, to make it more like the one you have described, it will be a big change, and it will come sooner than later 🙂

Groups are just fine - if you can make the shapes (drawings/sketches) work the same then I’ll be a happy boy
