Insert Container

When there are 2 or more shapes on the canvas and you want to move them together, drag these shapes onto the container, and move this container.

To insert a container on the canvas, go to Insert > Container, or find the container symbols on the symbol library (General > Container), choose one that you like.

Now, when you put shapes into the container, the border will turn green to make you know what is going on.

Except for the basic containers, EdrawMax also provides image containers (General > Image Container), which will make it easy for you to make family trees and illustrate relationships between different people.
