Move Tool

Using the Move Tool

The Alignment Options section offers the following controls:

• Add To Selection—When enabled, tapping on additional objects after you have selected an object will add them to your current selection.
• Select Under—When enabled, tapping on an area where two objects overlap will select the object that is underneath.
• Select Inside—When enabled, tapping on an area where an object is nested inside another object will select the nested object.
• About Center—When enabled, sets the center of the selected object as the anchor for that object.
• Cycle Selection Box—after reshaping, rotating, or shearing the object, this option toggles the selection box between a Base box (honors the transform), Regular bounds (ignores transform) or Planar bounds (fitting to an isometric grid if active).
• Lock children—When enabled, any child object will remain fixed in size and position when its parent object is transformed (moved, rotated, etc.).
• Enable Transform Origin—displays a movable rotation center about which the shape can be rotated.
• Hide Selection while dragging—when enabled, the object's selection box is temporarily hidden when transforming the object. If this option is off, the selection box remains visible during transformation. The selected behavior persists across all objects unless it is manually switched.
• Show Alignment Handles—when selected, displays alignment handles at the center and edges of the selected object. You can drag the handles to position the center or edges of the selected object in line with this guide.
• Transform Objects Separately—when selected, where multiple objects are selected, they can be be resized, rotated and sheared independently of each other instead of transforming the bounding box.
• Select Same—allows you to select all objects on your document which match a chosen attribute to your currently selected object.
• Select Object—allows you to select all objects of a certain type within your document.
