Editing Objects Part I
Moving and Dynamically Adjusting the Size of an
Object
There are several ways of moving or changing the size of an object. The method described
here will be called dynamic in the sense that it is carried out using the mouse.
When you dynamically change an object, remember to check the left hand area of the status
bar at the bottom of your screen. This shows detailed information about the ongoing
manipulation. For example, during a resizing manipulation, you will see the following
information displayed:
The information displayed changes when the mouse is moved.
Dynamic movement of objects
To move an object, select it and then click within the selection frame and hold down the left
mouse button while moving the mouse. In order to drop the object at its new location, let go
of the mouse button. During movement, the shape of the object appears as dotted lines to
help with repositioning.
Dynamic size modification of objects
In order to change the size of an object (or group of selected objects) with the mouse, you
need to move one of the handles located around the selection. As shown in the following
illustration, the outline of the resulting new object appears as a dotted line.
The results will differ depending on which handle you use. If you choose a corner handle
you will resize the object along two axes at the same time. If, on the other hand, you use a
side handle the objects will only be resized along one axis.
