Sizing lets you change the width and height of an object.
|
|
Scaling lets you size an object to a percentage of its original size.
|
|
Skewing lets you slant an object to one side.
|
|
Stretching lets you change the height and width of an object nonproportionally.
|
|
Rotating lets you turn an object around its center axis or a point relative to its position.
|
|
Mirroring lets you create a horizontal or vertical mirror image of an object.

Transforming objects interactively
You can transform an object interactively by using the mouse and the Pick tool. This method is the quickest, but it is not recommended if you want to transform an object with precision.
Other methods for transforming objects
You can transform an object in any of the following ways:
• | For more precise results, you can select an object with the Pick tool and adjust settings on the property bar. For example, you can specify a precise rotation angle or specify the size of an object. |
• | The Transformation docker lets you transform objects with precision and apply the transformation to the duplicate of an object, which is created automatically. This feature lets you experiment with transformations without affecting the original object. You can access the Transformation docker by clicking Object Transformations and clicking a command. |
• | The Transform toolbar also lets you transform objects with precision. You can access the Transform toolbar by clicking Windows Toolbars Transform. |
Clearing and redoing transformations
All transformations can be simultaneously cleared at any time.
To transform an object interactively |
1 . | Select an object by using the Pick tool. |
Handle types: selection (1), rotation (2), and skew (3)
2 . | Perform a task from the following table. |
Hold down Ctrl, and drag a selection handle to the opposite side of the object.
|
If you want to leave the original object unchanged and apply the transformation to copies that are created, type a number in the Copies box in the Transformation docker.
To clear all transformations applied to an object |
1 . | Select an object. |
2 . | Click Object Transformations Clear transformations. |
You can undo the Clear transformations command by clicking Edit Undo clear transformations.
