The popup menu of the flow chart editor has a union section. Its items are enabled only if the selected item is a flow chart object. Objects of the same union move together, even if a user moves only one object comprising it. Items of the union section perform the same actions as the Union item of the main menu.

 

New Union - Creates a new union. The selected object becomes the main object of the union. Double-click the main object to select all objects that belong to the union. This item is enabled only when several objects are selected.
Add To Union - Adds selected object(s) to a union. If a selected object is already in the union, it is not added.
Remove From Union - Removes an object from a union. This item is enabled only when a selected object is a member of a union. The Remove From Union item is disabled when the selected object is the main object in a union.
Clear Union - Removes all objects from a union. This item is enabled only when a selected object is the main object in a union.
