Move, resize and rotate#
By dragging#
| Drag | Does |
|---|---|
| The object | Move |
| A corner handle | Resize |
| An edge handle | Stretch one way |
| The handle above | Rotate |
| Alt + corner handle | Skew |
Arrow keys nudge 1 mm. Hold Shift for 10 mm, Alt for 0.1 mm.
By typing exact numbers#
- Select the object.
- In Properties → Transform, type the centre, width, height or angle.
Numbers are positions, not moves. Typing 75 in CX puts the centre at X 75.
Flip#
Click Mirror X or Mirror Y in Properties.
Watch out#
Rotating or stretching a shape turns it into a plain path. Its settings (like a circle's radius) are lost. Moving or resizing evenly keeps them.
