    Hi,

    I am working my self through YT videos and tutorials. Currently I work on a very simple flow diagram.

    To have text in a box/rectangle I do create two objects: A rectangle and a text. A mark them together and than press Ctrl+G to group them.

    Is this the appropriate way to do this? Or can I somehow have a rectangle with text in it as one object?

    Regards,

    Christian

    I'd draw a rectangle. Select text object and rectangle and do text > Flow into frame (alt+w)

    Hoooooo... Awesome. Looking to the octopus in this docs I see this can save some more of my problems than I thought.
