#=== '''Group Manager (3)''' ===
#* The Group Manager will help to structure your drawing. You can group elements and show/hide them as need. So you can focus on special parts of your drawing. You will need a lot of points, lines, curves for advances pattern, so it's great you can focus one some of them and hide the rest.
#* You can add as many groups as you wish. Click on the '''+'''-button to add a new group. Enter a unique name and choose a color, linenweight and linecolor.
[[File:Advice.svg|50x50px]] For now, the line properties do not have any impact. This may change in future versions of Seamly2D
