Moving groups of objects
The Move option in the Transform Each dialog box moves objects in a selection in a specified or random direction. Use the Random option to give a slightly less rigid, more natural look to a group of items. For example, if you draw a brick wall and want the bricks to appear slightly offset from each other instead of perfectly aligned, you could select the Random option.
To move groups of objects: - Select the objects you want to move.
- Choose Object > Transform > Transform Each.
- In the Move Horizontal and Vertical text boxes, enter the distance you want to move the selected objects, or use the associated sliders. These numbers must be between -4000 and 4000 points and must not cause the objects to move beyond the edge of the artboard.
- Do one of the following:
- To move the objects by the specified amounts, click OK.
- To move the objects randomly, but no more than the specified amounts, select the Random option. Then click OK.
