How to make several objects one object?

[elasticc]

Hi,

i have made a little badge as you can see below, but its all made up of separate parts, so when i move it, i have to shift select each piece to move it as whole, how do i make it into one image so i can just select it and drag it or resize it as i wish?

Thanks for any help and advice

You have a couple of options. One would be to Select all of your parts and use Cmd(Ctrl)-G to make it a group which will act as a single item. Another would be to make the selected pathitems into a Symbol.
