In other words, say you have group A and group B, then group them all together into group AB. Can you then suspend groups back into groups A and B? Then further suspend groups into individual components, and then back into A and B and then AB again?
My old app could do that just by hitting the group or ungroup hotkey repeatedly -- I used the feature all the time.
Thanks.

AFAIK the Group/Suspend Group feature does not have "levels" - "On" or "Off". But you can Group Groups of Groups... (embedded Groups)

I seem to recall reading somewhere here that if you group groups, after closing and re-opening the file the initial groups are forgotten. Can anyone back this up?

Is there a way to make levels of groups?

The suspend grups toggle command suspends all groups at once.

Also, a new behavior in 11 (and a welcome one to me) is that grouping a subset of previously grouped elements with grouping turned off will undo the grouping of the subsets and just give you the new group. Does that make sense?
Let's try again....
If you have 3 groups of objects of 5 elements in each group and you turn grouping off you can select just one or two elements from each of the previous groups and group those together without doing any ungrouping.
Why is this so hard to describe? I think we need a group hug.

Chazz, your first try was the best. Here's a hug for that
