Fills
Usually, moving an object also moves the fill with it:
Normal move left to right with a linear filled
object.
This also applies to rotating, skewing, scaling and
stretching objects.
Web Designer Premium can also move the object but not the fill origin.
To do this click the "−" key on the numeric keypad
during the move.
The same move, but pressing "−" (minus) during
the drag.
Nudging objects
Usually you can move an object a small amount by using the arrowï€ keys to nudge the object (these
keys sometimes have other uses, especially in the Text Tool
).
Nudging is not affected by either magnetic or grid snapping (snapping is described later).
Nudge modifiers
To modify the nudge distance, use these key combinations while using the arrow keys:
Ctrl nudge 5 times the normal distance
Shift nudge 10 times the normal distance
Ctrl + Shift nudge by l/5th the normal distance
Alt nudge by 1 pixel
Alt + Shift nudge by 10 pixels
You can change the normal nudge distance under the General tab in "Utilities" > "Options". Refer to "
Customizing Web Designer Premium
".
Nudge works in most tools.
Cut, copy and paste
These let you move or copy an object in the same document or between different documents. The
procedure is:
1.
Select the object.
2.
To remove the object, choose "Edit" > "Cut" (or "Ctrl + X"). To copy the object but not
remove it, choose "Edit" > "Copy" (or "Ctrl + C"). Either option puts the object (or a copy of it)
onto the clipboard.
3.
Choose "Edit" > "Paste", "Ctrl + V", or "Insert". This pastes the clipboard contents into the
document.
Note that if the objects you copy are all on the same layer, then you can paste those objects to any
layer by first making it the current layer and then choosing "Edit" > "Paste" > "Paste in layer" or
"Paste in place in current layer"
. The layer from which the objects were copied is ignored in this case.
However if the objects you copy are on several different layers
, then the layer structure is maintained when you paste.
This allows you to copy layered data within a document or to a different document. Any layers which are
missing in the target document are created automatically by this operation. So for example if you copy a
mouse-over button, which has one object on the MouseOff layer and another object on the MouseOver
