Size and Position of Objects

You can move each selected object or change its size. If you select multiple objects, you can change them all as if a single object were selected.

1.  Changing the size with the mouse: Select the object. If you position the mouse on the frame, you can change the size by pulling the frame inwards or outwards, as indicated by the arrows, while holding down the left mouse button. You must position the mouse in one corner of the frame in order to change the size both horizontally and vertically.

2.  Moving with the mouse: Select the object. Hold down the mouse button and drag the object to the position that you want. If you press the Shift key, you will only be able to move the objects horizontally or vertically. The alignment remains the same.

3.  Changing the size and moving with the dialog: You can also change the size and position of an object by means of the property list. You can enter values precisely here. If you double click the "Position" sub-item in the property list, a position dialog will appear which makes it even easier to enter the size and position of objects with the keyboard.

4.  Using the keyboard to move objects or change their size: Select the object. Use the direction keys to move the object in the respective direction. Pressing the key once moves the object by the smallest possible unit, if you hold down the Ctrl key, the object will be moved by ten times the smallest unit.
