In Clip Studio Paint, the term "grouping objects" can refer to organizing commands on your Command Bar or organizing layers (which represent your artwork objects) on the canvas. Based on the provided reference, here is how you group commands on the Command Bar:
Organizing your Command Bar allows you to group related tools, functions, or settings under a single icon, creating a cleaner workspace. This method described below is specifically for adding commands to an existing icon on the Command Bar, effectively creating a dropdown or subgroup of commands associated with that icon.
To group commands on the Command Bar, follow these steps:
- Select the [File] menu > [Command Bar Settings]. This action will open the [Command Bar Settings] dialog box.
- On the Command Bar itself, select the icon under which you want to group other commands. This chosen icon will serve as the main point for the group.
- In the [Command Bar Settings] dialog box, select the command(s) you want to add from the list. Use the controls in the dialog to add these selected commands to the icon you chose in the previous step.
By following these steps, you are essentially creating a group where clicking the main icon reveals the commands you added, helping you manage your frequently used functions more efficiently.
Note on Grouping Layers
While the method above focuses on grouping commands for interface organization, users often think of "grouping objects" as grouping layers within their artwork (such as drawing elements, text, shapes, etc.) on the Layer palette. This type of grouping is handled separately through the Layer palette functionalities like creating layer folders, which helps organize the actual content of your illustration or comic. The process for grouping layers is different from grouping commands on the Command Bar.
