4.2.2. Moving Objects

When an object is inserted into the canvas, the desired object will appear with small green boxes (known as handles) around the border.

Object Handles

Figure 4.12. Object Handles


To move an object, click anywhere inside the object (or somewhere on a line other than a handle) and drag the mouse to the desired location on the canvas. For line objects, you need to click on the line.

[Tip] Tip

When moving an object, be sure not to click on a handle. Otherwise, you will resize the object instead of moving it.
