When selected, objects can be precisely manipulated using the Transform panel.

About the Transform panel

The Transform panel lets you reorder, flip, rotate, resize, reposition or shear objects precisely. In addition, you can align and distribute objects precisely.

All resizing and repositioning is carried out in relation to a defined anchor point—corner, edge midpoint or center—allowing the selected object or layer's position, width, height, rotation angle and shear to be adjusted.
