Description | Use the start editing command to add objects to a group or change the objects in a group. If you don't specify a stack, the specified group in the current stack is put into group-editing mode. Any objects created while in group-editing mode are added to that group. When a group is in group-editing mode, font and color properties for the group (though not for objects in the group) are disregarded. This means that if properties such as textFont, foregroundColor, and so on are set for the group, it displays differently when in group-editing mode, using the fonts and colors of the stack the group is in. As soon as you exit group-editing mode with the stop editing command, the group's correct appearance is restored.
