Transform panel

Options

The following settings are available in the panel:

• Tap the pin icon in the top right of the panel to hide the panel automatically when you are no longer focusing on it.
• Lock children—When enabled, any child (clipped) object will remain fixed in size and position when its parent object is transformed (moved, rotated, etc.).
• Transform separately—When enabled, each selected object is scaled, rotated or sheared around its own anchor point. When disabled, the objects are transformed around a shared anchor point determined by their combined bounding box.
• Order—reorders the selected layer content in relation to other layers. Choose Move to Back, Move Back One, Move Forward One or Move to Front.
• Flip and rotate—rotates layer content 90° clockwise or anti-clockwise; flips layer content horizontally or vertically.
• Dimensions—for resizing layer content.
  • Width—adjusts the layer content's width in relation to the selected anchor point.
  • Height—adjusts the layer content's height in relation to the selected anchor point.
  • Link—When enabled, width and height are adjusted in proportion to each other, maintaining the current aspect ratio. When deselected, they can be adjusted independently.
  • Toggle Scaling Units—toggles between the currently set document unit, percentage scaling and DPI for the currently selected placed image or document (hidden for all other objects).
• Position—for moving the layer content in relation to the page.
  • X—Horizontal position. Increasing the value moves the layer content to the right.
  • Y—Vertical position. Increasing the value moves the layer content down the page.
• Rotation—rotates the layer content in relation to the selected anchor point.
• Shear—shears the layer content in relation to the selected anchor point.
• Anchor—transforms are carried out from the selected anchor point. Tap on an anchor point to select.
• Scale Override—when enabled, the option forces the scaling of stroke width, layer effect radii, shape tools' corner radii and text frame content on the object when it is resized. Tap the down arrow to control which object properties will be exempt from scaling.
