4.2.6.6 Moving an Object
Position the pointer over an object; the pointer will change to a compass (NSEW) or four-headed arrow
shape. Press and hold the left mouse button while dragging the object to the new location, then release the
left mouse button.
Alternatively, you can position the pointer over the object to be moved, then press and hold the right mouse
button while dragging the extent indicators to the new location. Release the right mouse button. Select
Move Here from the resulting pop-up menu.
The operations move an object by its extent. It is also possible to choose a specific point in an object and
move it to a specific location. See
Section 4.2.7, Point Operations , for further information.
4.2.6.7 Copying an Object
Any of the following methods can be used to copy an object.
Method 1
1. Click on an object to select it; click on the Copy button, then the Paste button from the
Main toolbar. Four extent indicators appear around the pointer. The indicators represent the
extent of the object(s) to be copied, while the pointer represents the reference point or center
of the object's extent.
2. Place the pointer on the location which is to be the new center of the object and release the
mouse button. A copy of the object is displayed in the new location.
3. Click Paste and repeat the positioning operation for each additional copy of the object
needed. This operation will also work if the Cut button on the Main toolbar is used
instead of the Copy button, if the original object is to be deleted.
Method 2
1. Position the pointer over the object to be moved, then press and hold the right mouse button
while dragging the extent indicators to the new location.
2. Release the right mouse button.
3. Select Copy Here from the resulting pop-up menu.
Method 3
1. Hold down the C TRL key while dragging an object to a new location.
2. A copy of the object will be made in the new location.
When the pointer is moved to the Working View area, four extent indicators appear. The indicators repre-
sent the extent of the object(s) to be copied, with the pointer positioned to represent the center or refer-
ence point of the extent.
4.2.6.8 Scaling (Resizing) an Object
Scaling (or resizing) is the action of making objects larger or smaller. To resize an object, position the
pointer over the object, then click the left mouse button to select it. A box appears around the object to indi-
cate that it is selected. Resize handles, displayed as small squares, appear at each corner and at the mid-
point of each side of the box. Click on one of the resize handles shown on the selected item, and drag it to
a new position. When a handle is being dragged, the opposite handle is used as an anchor point.
By default, scaling is unequal; that is, objects can be distorted as they are scaled. For example, if a circle is
scaled unequally, an ellipse is created.
