Moving objects

To move an object, you can drag the object, use the arrow keys, use the Property inspector, or use the Info panel.

Select an object or multiple objects.
Select the Selection tool, position the pointer over the object, and drag to the new position. To copy the object and move the copy, Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Macintosh). To constrain the object's movement to multiples of 45° , Shift-drag.

Select an object or multiple objects.
Press the arrow key for the direction in which you want the object to move 1 pixel at a time. Press Shift+arrow key to move the selection 10 pixels at a time.
Note: When Snap to Pixels is selected, the arrow keys move objects by pixel increments on the document's pixel grid, not by pixels on the screen. See Pixel snapping.
