Michael:
I most certainly would relish a Group command that operates on any set of objects. I was just trying to explore if there was something I was missing in the current version that would make it easier to keep these imported objects together. I explored at one time how much work it as get all the edges joined up etc, and it became about the same amount of work as redrawing them!

I've seen in other software where upon import it automagically groups the objects (or not as an option) but it is indeed just a part of the group mechanism.
