Choosing preferences that affect how
objects move
The General Preferences dialog box lets
you specify how an object is moved.
To set preferences that affect how
objects move:
1
Choose File > Preferences > General.
2 Choose one or more of the following
options:
• Select the Snap to Point option to
specify whether, when you drag an
object, it “snaps” to an anchor point
or a guide when the pointer is within
2 pixels of the anchor point or guide.
This option is on by default. You can
turn this option off if you want to drag
objects without restricting their move-
ment in this way.
• Enter an angle between 0 and 360
degrees in the Constrain Angle text box
to rotate the x and y axes. The rotation of
the axes determines how drawing and
movement are constrained when you
hold down the Shift key. See Rotating the
x and y axes for more information.
