• The Selection tool also transforms objects... clicking and moving an object with the Selection tool is considered transforming it.
• So, after moving an object a certain distance, selecting Transform Again will move it by the same amount, and in the same direction.
• Or, select an entire path by option-clicking it. Drag off a copy with an option-drag. Now, selecting Transform Again will copy the path, as well as moving the copy by the same amount and in the same direction.
• Finally, by holding down the option key and clicking on the Selection tool in the toolbox, you can bring up an dialog box to move the selected path by a specific amount, as well as making a copy.
