Maybe you are reopening it as a dxf. If you do it will be broken again. Email me the file and I can look at it for you sir. oneoffgarage@yahoo.com

When you group the file and then save, it should stay grouped...but only if you are saving it as a .cdr file. Once you export the file into another format, the grouping does not save. So exporting to DXF will not keep the grouping. Grouped items is a Corel exclusive.

Okay Thanks That seems to be the issue, it does stay connected as CDR. so I wonder how I would make a library of ready to cut DXF parts to import into sigma nest without being all broken.

Thanks for the two responses they both answers address what I have been doing.
