FYI
Another facility, that I believe will assist you with the kind of drawings you erect in OG. Not really related to this thread. Not for newcomers, one needs a bit of experience in OG, and particularly with grouped Objects.
Re multiple instances of a grouped Object. If you want the ability to change one of those instances, and have that change reflected in all instances, there is a method.
The implementation isn’t very good (not intuitive; it should be a Master::Instance model) but it works really well once you get the hang of it. Some users report finicky issues, but I do not have such: I think that is because I have a rock solid Grid, and I am Grid-oriented everywhere.
Hints for Understanding
-
Don’t think of it as [the intuitive] Master:Instance model, because it is not, there is no Master, It is a collection of copies. If you change one occurrence of the Object, every occurrence of the Object is changed
-
Even the name Link-Back is horrible because that name already exists, and has established connotations. Think of it as the virtual space in which the Object [any occurrence of the Object] is edited.
-
It works the same as Shared Layers (which is great for users of the newer releases, but horrible if one has experience with OG 4 Master Canvases). That is, if you change a Shared Layer anywhere, it is changed in all instances. Pffft.
Cheers
