1. With the rectangle still selected, hold down the number 5 key and drag the rectangle to
the right a bit. When the measurement label shows a dX value of approximately 0.25 in,
release the mouse and then release the 5 key.
This action moves the object parallel to its current location. You could also press the
Alt key (Windows) or Option key (Mac OS), while dragging, to copy the object that
you are dragging.
2. Press the Escape key to hide the perspective grid.
3. Choose Select > Deselect, and then choose File > Save.
Moving planes and objects together
As you saw in the beginning of this lesson, it's usually best to adjust the grid before there is
artwork on it. But Illustrator allows you to move objects perpendicularly, similar to what you
just did, by moving the grid planes instead. This can be better for more precise perpendicular
movement.
Next, you will move a grid plane and artwork together.
1. Press Ctrl+Shift+I (Windows) or Command+Shift+I (Mac OS) to show the perspective
grid again.
2. Select the Zoom tool ( ), and click the lower-left corner of the original box twice,
slowly , to zoom in to the grid.
