Transformation Example
Stretching lets you change the height and width of an object
nonproportionally.
Rotating lets you turn an object around its center axis or a point
relative to its position.

Mirroring lets you create a horizontal or vertical mirror image of an
object.
Transforming objects interactively
You can transform an object interactively by using the mouse and the Pick tool. This method is the quickest, but it is not recommended if
you want to transform an object with precision.
Other methods for transforming objects
You can transform an object in any of the following ways:
• For more precise results, you can select an object with the Pick tool and adjust settings on the property bar. For example, you can specify
a precise rotation angle or specify the size of an object.
• The Transformation docker lets you transform objects with precision and apply the transformation to the duplicate of an object, which
is created automatically. This feature lets you experiment with transformations without affecting the original object. You can access the
Transformation docker by clicking Object Transformations and clicking a command.
• The Transform toolbar also lets you transform objects with precision. You can access the Transform toolbar by clicking
Windows Toolbars Transform.
Each of these methods lets you apply transformations to a single object or to multiple objects simultaneously.
Clearing and redoing transformations
All transformations can be simultaneously cleared at any time.
