Moving objects

You move objects by dragging them, using the arrow keys, or using the Transform palette.

To move an object by dragging:

1. Select the object. Shift-click to select additional objects.
2. Drag the object to its new location. Shift-drag to constrain the movement to multiples of 45 degrees.

To move an object using the arrow keys:

1. Select the object.
2. Press the arrow key for the direction in which you want to move the object. Press the Shift key to move the object 10 pixels with each press of the arrow key.

To move an object using the Transform palette:

1. Choose Window > Transform.
2. Select the object in the composition.
3. Do any of the following in the Transform palette:
• To move the object horizontally (along the x axis), enter a value for x. A lower number moves the object to the left; a higher number moves it to the right; entering 0 places it at the top left corner of the work area.
• To move the object vertically (along the y axis), enter a value for y. A lower number moves the object up; a higher number moves it down; entering 0 places it at the top left corner of the work area.
