I have attached a file illustrating the grouping scenario I referred to in my earlier post. The only thing I did that you did not refer to is that rather than using free-form drawing around the grouped objects is that I simply used another shape and enlarged it. (FWIW, I never used free-form drawing in Visio...so many other/better/professional options available.)

HTHs...



Original file did not upload (invalid file), converted to .pdf for uploading.

oh, I did not see that it is possible to attach files here

Thank you once again, Jim.

But what if my shapes are for example arranged like in the attached file.
I want the dotted line like the red line excluding shape No. 4.
For many reasons I do not want to re-arrange the shapes.
Do I need to build an own shape that fits exactly in the red line or is there a simpler way?
