You can attach assets to each other in a workspace, grouping the objects together to be manipulated as a single item. Often time, this is helpful for notetaking, feedback, and brainstorming activities.
Attaching workspace assets:
-
Select the item you wish to attach to another asset.
-
Select
(More options) on the object toolbar. -
Select Attach. The border around the asset becomes pink.
Alternatively, you can press A on your keyboard to use the Attach keyboard shortcut.
- Drag the selected asset onto the asset you want to attach it to. A pink boundary box flashes around both assets, indicating they are now attached.
The asset that you selected first and dragged onto the other is the “child” asset, while the asset you attached the child asset to is the “parent” asset. When you resize the parent asset, the child is resized to scale, however a child asset can always be resized independent of the parent asset.
Note: If you copy and paste attached assets across workspaces, they retain their attached state.
BluePro Tip: Attach assets together to appear as a single object in present mode.
Detaching assets
You can detach an individual child asset from a group, or detach all assets from each other,
To detach an individual child asset:
-
Select the child asset you wish to remove.
-
Select
(More options), then Detach.
-
The child asset is now separated from the group and can be moved independently. You can also click the child asset and drag it outside of the attached group to detach it.
To detach all assets from a group:
-
Select the entire group of assets, ensuring all are highlighted by the blue bounding box.
-
Select
(More options). -
Select Detach all. Each asset in the group is detached; any action performed on one does not impact the others.
