Converting groups to shapes
You can convert a group object into simple shapes. The result is a group consisting entirely of simple lines and shapes - the same as if you had converted each object in the group to shapes.
To convert a group to shapes
1. Select the group (see Selecting objects).
2. From the Arrange menu, choose Convert to Editable Shapes.
Tip
Shortcut: right-click on the group to open the pop-up menu and choose Convert to Editable Shapes.
