In Grafikobjekt umwandeln

Choose Convert to Graphic Object from the Object menu or click the Convert to Graphic Object button in the Edit Functions Toolbar to convert selected objects into graphic objects.

A Graphic Object is an object which is not assigned to a symbol. It is either a line or area object with a corresponding color. Here are two examples:

Symbolized text objects are converted into graphic area objects. A point object is taken apart in its fundamental components which are line or area objects, in this case a blue line object (circle).

To convert a graphic object into a layout object choose the Convert to Layout Object function from the Object menu.
