When you draw with Arbortext IsoDraw , you generate individual elements such as lines and ellipses etc. You can group these together to simplify the process of working with large numbers of elements. If you draw a page of a spare parts catalog, you will generally create a group for each individual spare part containing all the elements belonging to this group.

These groups are not named, however, due to their large numbers. Arbortext IsoDraw is therefore unable to identify a specific group.

For this reason, Arbortext IsoDraw allows you to assign a name or identification to this group. This allows you to search for this group and identify it unambiguously. An element or a group to which you have assigned such additional information is known as an object.
