74 Chapter 3: Selecting and Transforming Objects
Viewing transformation information in the Info panel
The Info panel lets you view numerical transformation information for the currently selected
object. The information updates as you edit the object.
■
For scaling and free transformations, the Info panel shows the width (W) and height (H)
of the original object before transformation and the percentage of increase or decrease in
width and height during the transformation.
■
For skewing and distorting, the Info panel shows the skew angle in one-degree increments
and the X and Y pointer coordinates during the transformation.
To view transformation information as you transform a selection:
■
Select Window > Info.
Organizing objects
When working with multiple objects in a single document, you can use several techniques to
organize the document:
■
You can group individual objects to treat them as one or protect each object’s relationship
to the others in the group.
■
You can arrange objects behind or in front of other objects. The way objects are arranged
is called the
stacking order .
■
You can align selected objects to an area of the canvas or to a vertical or horizontal axis.
Grouping objects
You can group individual selected objects and then manipulate them as if they were a single
object. For example, after drawing the petals of a flower as individual objects, you can group
them to select and move the entire flower as a single object.
You can edit groups without ungrouping them. You can select an individual object in a group
for editing without ungrouping the objects. You can also ungroup the objects at any time.
To group two or more selected objects:
■
Select Modify > Group.
To ungroup selected objects:
■
Select Modify > Ungroup.
