I am playing with tiling as a possible solution to drawing mandalas. Using 'Symmetry: reflection+reflection' in TileClones, with a 2x2 array, comes close, but requires selecting Create in the TileClones everytime a new object is added to the group of the main tile. When an object in this main tile group is moved, resized, or deleted, then the clones immediately reflects the change, but not when a new object is added to the group. Apparently, when a new object is added, the id of the group is changed and it then is no longer linked to the clones.
That depends on how you add object to the group. The easiest way is to _enter_ that group (double click with selector, or right click and "Enter") and then draw or paste any objects - they will be added to the group and it's won't change the id, so the clones will automatically update.
Excellent. Thank you. Is there some place in written documentation where I can find this? What indication is there that I have entered a group? While inside the group, its parts do not seem to behave as a group. Also, apparently, I must shift-select the new object to be added and select GroupSelectedObjects, and then double-click again to exit group. Is this correct?
