I have a drawing with a horizontal line that appears in the drawing. This line can't be selected for erasing. Clicking the line with the mouse, it does not turn red. It appears to be locked or protected in someway. How can this be fixed?

Edit Reason: Clarified edit group order

It is apparent that the circular line and the gear teeth are grouped together. To erase the circular line edit the gear teeth group, select the circular line, and delete. If that fails then each gear tooth should be a copied to a group of its own. Edit any tooth, select the circular line and erase.
To edit groups...
[*]click Edit tab
[*]click Edit button
[*]click the group to be edited
[*]Edit Picture
[*]make changes
[*]Close all sub-windows and save.

Yes you can EDIT [E] a group to ungroup to make changes to objects that are in a group.
Note: A group can be used in multiple places and a change in a group using the Edit Picture option will show up in all places that the group was used.
But if you ungrouped one of the groups then made changes to the ungrouped group won't show up in the other groups.
P.S. I clarified williamj instructions but you can do it either way.
