preferences

window, you can set the distance objects move each time the

arrow keys are pressed. Different values can be set for both the arrow key and the

'Shift' + arrow key operations.

Changing an object's size

Drag a control point to change the size of an object.

Right-click on a control point, hold down the mouse button,

move the

frame until the object is the desired size,

then release the mouse button.

Click inside the control points (inside the

Block

s). If you click inside the object itself, you will

move the object.

If the control points seem too small to drag,

magnify the size of the layout

.

It is impossible to change the size of objects which are

Locked

to unlock the desired object or release it from its group.

Changing object size while maintaining aspect ratio

Hold down the 'Shift' key while dragging the control point.
