I have an ellipse with some lines and circle inside the ellipse in isometric drawing mode.
I like to group or join this objects into one.
Then I like to click the object and it would select all the object.
After that I lie to copy and paste them at various locations with mouse.

I do not know how to joint all the objects into one object.

Here is what I tried.
1) I select with mouse all the objects by drawing a rectangle over the region.
The objects turns blue.
2) Then I click Modify > Move/Copy
And use the mouse to reselect the entire blue area.
The selected objects (now a duplicate) turns white.
There is no marker to show where to align the selected object with a desire drop location.

3) Then I move the mouse pointer to the desire place.
But the position of the mouse pointer is not the position where the selected object is dropped.

 Questions:
a) How do I joint all the parts into one object when in isometric mode?
b) The way I am doing the copy above is probably wrong and it is cumbersome.
How to you copy an object and then use a mouse to drop it at location pointed by mouse?
I thought if you use Modify> move/copy, then click on the object and them move the mouse to a desired location and click again.  But it does not work!  So I must have missed a step!

Please advice.
Thank you.
