The Regrouping function comes in handy when you receive a layout from your customer.

This function is used to correct them quickly and to unite them into groups. It works in the following way: all vector objects that are visually on the display are combined into groups and then it becomes easy to work with them and, for example, it is possible to apply the Nesting function.
