Drag the upper-right point of the new rectangle up and to the left to make the rectangle
narrower and taller. Stop dragging when the measurement label shows an approximate
width of 0.62 in and a height of 5.8 in.
Tip
For more precision, you can also zoom in on the artwork or change the size
of the selected rectangle by changing the W and H values in the Control
panel or in the Transform panel (Window > Transform).
Moving objects in a perpendicular direction
With the new rectangle in place, you are going to move the rectangle in a direction
perpendicular to the current location. This technique is useful when creating parallel objects,
such as the legs of a chair.
Note
The keyboard shortcut 5, for perpendicular movement, (and the keyboard
shortcuts 1, 2, 3, and 4 for plane switching) while drawing or moving
objects, works only from the main keyboard and not from the extended
numeric keypad.
