Arranging and
Transforming Objects
You can change the position, size and
orientation of objects in a design by moving,
scaling and transforming them. Group objects
together to apply a change to them all at once,
or lock them to avoid unintentional
modification. You can modify objects directly
on-screen or by changing their settings. You
can also access some of these functions using
the popup menu.
The scalability and stitching quality of a design
ultimately depend on its original source. Only
native JAN designs contain the complete set of
design information required for 100% perfect
scaling and transformation.

This section describes how to position objects, lock and group, as well as how
to scale, rotate, skew, and flip objects.
Positioning and aligning objects
Position objects in your design using the mouse to
drag them to a new position, nudging them with
the arrow keys or by specifying the X:Y coordinates
in the Object Details dialog.
Positioning objects using click and drag
The simplest way to move an object in your design
is to click and drag it to a new position.
Alternatively, use the arrow keys to ‘nudge’ objects
into position.
To position objects using click and drag
