Transform freely

The Free Transform command lets you apply transformations (rotate, scale, skew, distort, and perspective) in one continuous operation. You can
also apply a warp transformation. Instead of choosing different commands, you simply hold down a key on your keyboard to switch between
transformation types.

If you are transforming a shape or entire path, the Transform command becomes the Transform Path command. If you are transforming

multiple path segments (but not the entire path), the Transform command becomes the Transform Points command.

1. Select what you want to transform.
