Right now selections are lost as soon as you try to change something, with few exceptions.
Moving, Aligning, Deleting and Copy is already possible with a selection.

Specifically, it is not possible to right click, or to use the Inspector, as this then resolves the selection with onepart that will now be seleected.

It would be handy to be able to more permanently select parts into a group, and then modify this group.

Example:

  1. Select two ore more textlogo items
  2. Align them centered
  3. Now "group" them
  4. Turn the group be 90 degree
  5. Move the group
  6. "Ungroup" it

Following properties are candidates to be applicable to groups:

  • Position
  • Rotate
  • Change layer (PCB view)
  • Change text size (PCB view) : applies to all text in the group
  • Change hole size : applies to all holes in the group (but not vias)
  • Change text (if only a single text element is in the group)
  • Edit labels (if multiple text elements are in the group)
  • For Resistors: Package, Resistance, Pin Spacing

Would groups affect single views, or would groups apply cross-view ?
