Re: re-import graphics?

["CB Casper" <knowone@xxxxxxxxx>]

Before doing the select_all/group/center/ungroup routine,
create a window sized rectangle. It is now 'last' or frontmost, 
and everything else should center on the graphic just created.

Then just delete the temp graphic, after ungrouping, of course.

Select_all graphics/copy/pasting into another graphic frame
could also work.

This trick of creating a temporary graphic can be used
for alignments, sizing, moving, etc. and can be a great
time saver.

I guess you didn't try it out... I did.  ;-)

And all objects in the frame are centered on the last
one in Z-order (frontmost)... but they are *not*
centered in the frame!  If there is only one object,
nothing at all happens.  Distribute does you no good
either.  I was sure something like this would work,
and spent a while experimenting, but finally was
reduced to the process I described above... ;-)
