Transforming

To flip or rotate layer contents:

Select one or more layers.
From the Transform panel, select a flip or rotate option.

To position layer contents accurately:

Select one or more layers.
On the Transform panel, change X and/or Y values.

To size layer content accurately:

Select one or more layers.
On the Transform panel, change Width and/or Height values.

To size layers to same:

Select multiple layers, ensuring the layer to be sized to is selected first. To do this, use -tap to target it first or a marquee selection that encompasses it first.
On the Transform panel, tap Alignment Options, then set a Make Same option, choosing to size to Width or Height.
(Optional) Enable Maintain Aspect Ratio to ensure the layers will resize using their original proportions.

To size layers to a targeted key object:

Select multiple objects.
With the modifier pressed on the hardware keyboard or Command Controller, tap the target key object (i.e., a layer). The selected key object will possess a strong outline.
On the Transform panel, tap Alignment Options, then set a Make Same option, choosing to size to Width or Height.

To nudge layer content (hardware keyboard only):

Select layer content.
Tap an arrow key to nudging by a single unit of measurement.

Scale override

When an object is resized, the stroke width, layer effect radii, corner radii and text frame contents can be forced to scale by using the Transform panel. If Scale with object settings are disabled on the object itself (stroke, layer effect, etc.) then they will be ignored.

To override scaling on objects:

Select an object.
On the Transform panel, enable Scale Override.
Resize via the object's handles while maintaining its aspect ratio.

To override scaling on objects selectively:

Select an object.
On the Transform panel, tap the Scale Override down arrow and then Show Scale Override Options.
Enable/disable the following settings:
- Line weights—useful when working on vector objects with a stroke. For example, you can either force or prevent scaling whilst resizing with the setting set to Scale with object or Locked, respectively.
- Shape corners—to control the scaling of a shape's corners while resizing, you can either force (Scale with object) or prevent (Locked setting).
- Layer effect radii—to control the scaling of the radius of a layer effect added to an object.
- Text frame contents—to control the scaling of frame text while resizing; when set to Locked the container will scale whilst keeping text the same size. When set to Scale with object however, text will enlarge when resizing the container by its corner handles.
Ensure the Scale Override button is enabled.
Resize via the object's handles while maintaining its aspect ratio.
