Note: The new group will be placed on Layer 0 if its components are originally on different layers.. If you explode a group, the objects will return to their original layers. Layer 0 should always be left visible, or newly created groups will instantly "disappear."

If you open the Selection Info Palette, you can view the contents and properties of a selected group. img You can highlight any component of the group to view its individual properties as well. img
