Re: Strange bounding box and parenting problem 2004-03-26 - By northwatchmantech

OK, I created a folder with the jpgs in it : "Rob's Folder" In the
group shot, I moved the group off the radar so that you can see the
bounding frame. The only object inside the bounding frame is the
parent "Mounting Block". I can't click on the children and drag the
group. In the other two images, I show the image and menu showing the
organization of parent/child relationship.
