|  If you create a collection of objects that work together, you can group them to create a new drawing object that you can move, resize, or copy as a single unit. If you need to change the orientation of a drawing object, you can rotate or flip it. For example, if you want to create a mirror image of your object, you can flip it, or if you want to turn an object on its side, you can rotate it 90 degrees. Rotating and flipping tools work with drawing and text objects. You can join two shapes together with a connecting line to create a flow chart or diagram. Once two shapes are joined, the connecting line moves when you move either shape. Group Objects Together -
