Introducing an additional Transform property group for a single path is useful, for example, for creating complex motion—such as spinning about
one anchor point while also revolving along an orbit. The transformations of a group affect all shapes within the group; this behavior is the same
as the behavior of layer parenting. (See
Parent and child layers .)
Each shape path also has intrinsic properties that affect the position and shape of the path. For parametric shape paths, these properties (such as
Position and Size) are parameters visible in the Timeline panel. For Bezier shape paths, these properties are defined for each vertex but are
contained within the Path property. When you modify a Bezier path using the free-transform bounding box, you modify these intrinsic properties for
the vertices that constitute that path. (See
About shapes and shape layers .)
Group shapes or shape attributes
Select one or more shapes or shape attributes, and do one of the following:
Choose Layer > Group Shapes.
Press Ctrl+G (Windows) or G (Mac OS).
When you group shapes, the anchor point for the group is placed in the center of the bounding box for the group.
Ungroup shapes or shape attributes
Select a single group, and do one of the following:
Choose Layer > Ungroup Shapes.
Press Ctrl+Shift+G (Windows) or Shift+G (Mac OS).
Create an empty shape group
Choose Group (Empty) from the Add menu in the Tools panel or in the Timeline panel.
Continuously rasterize a layer containing vector graphics
