In-Depth Information
If you want to align objects along the edges of the artboard, click the
Align To
button on the Align or Control panel, and then click
Align to Artboard
. Objects
are moved on the artboard based on the alignment or distribution command to the
closest edge (top and bottom, or left and right).
If you want to align objects to a key object, click an object to make it the key ob-
ject (a thick blue outline appears and the
Align To Key Object
option is selected
in the Align and Control panel).
Use the alignment and distribution buttons on the Align or Control panel.
Transforming Objects
The easiest way to transform an object is to use the bounding box. With the bounding box,
you can quickly scale (resize), reflect (mirror), and rotate an object. However, you cannot
copy an object or move the reference point. As you drag to transform an object, you can
use keyboard keys to alter the results of a transformation. Experiment with the different
options to create some new results.
