Move your layered artwork

Page 3 of your document includes objects on four different layers: the Foreground layer, the Head and hands layer, the Beads layer, and the Body layer. You'll copy the layered artwork to page 1.

1

To reduce your page view to see the entire page, choose View > Fit to Page.

2

With the Pointer tool, click any object on page 3.

3

Choose Edit > Select > All.

4

Choose Edit > Cut.

5

Turn to page 1 and choose Edit > Paste.

6

Drag the art to the right edge of the page until the right alignment triangle appears.

The alignment triangle indicates the objects are in alignment with the right edge of the page.

7

Keeping the art aligned to the right edge of the page, drag the objects to align with the bottom edge of the page. Again, an alignment triangle, this time pointing downward, appears when the objects are aligned against the bottom edge of the page.

The objects that you copied are still on their respective layers.

8

Click anywhere away from the sarcophagus to deselect the objects.

Because the Foreground layer is on top of the three layers that contain the sarcophagus art, the eyes and headdress art that you created on the Foreground layer appear on top of the other layers.

9

In the Layers panel, click the check mark next to the Background layer to hide it.

To show a hidden layer, you can click to the left of the unchecked layer name.

Note: As you complete the tutorial, remember to save your work frequently.
