Moving Shapes
You can move shapes with either the mouse or the keyboard.
You can move one shape at a time, or move multiple shapes at once.
To move a single shape with the mouse:
-
Make sure that either no shapes are selected,
or only the one shape to be moved is selected.
-
Position the cursor over the shape to be moved.
-
Click and hold the left mouse button down.
-
Drag the shape to where you want it.
-
Release the mouse button.
To move multiple shapes with the mouse:
-
Select the shapes to be moved.
-
Position the cursor over any of the selected shapes,
but not over any of the selected shapes' handles.
When the cursor is in the correct position,
it will appear as a 4-way arrow.
-
Click and hold the left mouse button down.
-
Drag the shapes to where you want them.
-
Release the mouse button.
To move one or more shapes with the keyboard:
-
Select the shapes to be moved.
-
Use the arrow keys to move the shapes.
If you hold down the Shift or Ctrl key while using the arrow keys,
the shapes will move by a smaller distance.
