Nudging Objects

To move (or, nudge) an object in small, precise increments, use the keyboard arrow keys.
Each press of a key moves the object one pixel (the size of a video scan line) in the desig-
nated direction. To move the object in 10-pixel increments, hold down the Shift key
while pressing an arrow key.
5
The Horizontal Size Option stretches the object only on its horizontal (X) axis. The values
represent pixels.
6
The Vertical Size Option works exactly like the Horizontal Scale Option excepts that it
stretches the object along its vertical (Y) axis. The values represent pixels (or, video scan
lines).
7
The Rotation Option rotates the object around its center point. Positive values (in
degrees) rotate the object clockwise—negative values rotate counterclockwise.
8
The Skew Option slants the object from its center point. Positive values (in percentage)
slant the object to the left—negative values slant to the right.
Tip
When modifying graphic objects, use Ctrl+Shift+F7 to display only the object's outline rather
than the object itself. This increases PowerScript's "redraw" performance so you can work
faster. When you finish making modifications, enter Ctrl+Shift+F7 again to display the object
in its modified state.
