It's been gone since a few versions ago. It's supposed to make a comeback in a future release with a vengeance.

Is that the one where Grasshopper and Rhino must play Bentley's deadly game as they race around New York solving riddles while trying to stop them :-D

Yes. Rhino killed Bentley's younger brother and it's payback.
But in reality it was all intended as an elaborate distraction while he steals the gold bullion from the new york federal reserve vault. (end the fed!)

Until its return why not locate the components you want to be clustered else where on the canvas and then link to them using wireless component:

I usually arrange my mess like this....

Ahh, yes. I do this too. The "scribbly-line-bounded-function-organization techinique".

As it is formally known, yes!
- that, combined with the "Underlying-coloured-panel components-principle"

There is also the old-school panel-as-cluster-boundary method which was killed by the said underlying panel version.

You can also use the align widget to "cluster" components. In fact, i accidentally do that all the time. The hard part is unclustering them back.

I do this too...thankfully we can UNDO this now. But in the past, I have actually used this method and hidden the mess behind a panel labeled DO NOT ENTER!
