Rotate Group

Is there a way to select more than one figure in Daz Studio so I can rotate or move them and keep their respective orientation? I have a scene with two sword fighters and I need the guy on the left to be on the right (and vice versa). In Carrara, I would select both figures and use CTRL-G to group them, then spin the group...I haven't found a way to do this in DS---is it possible?

    A crude way, but it does work, is to parent one figure to the other, then rotate/translate the parent only. When you are done, unparent the child figure.

    Select the two figures, go to the Create -> New Group .. menu. This will create a group that you can rotate and translate. If you leave something out, you can move it into the group in the Scene panel.

    Awesome--thanks! I don't know why it's hidden away like that....it took me almost 15 minutes to find where to change the background color.
