Drop copy
During a move (and while still holding the left mouse button down) click the right mouse button or press
+ on the numeric keypad to drop a copy of the object. The original object doesn't move. You can do this
as many times as you wish to create a series of duplicated objects.
You can also hold down the right mouse button and drag a copy of the object. Left click to leave a copy
at the current mouse position.
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.
Xtreme Print Studio 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 arrow?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 Xtreme Print Studio".
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
"Ctrl + Shift+ V" pastes the clipboard contents into the same X/Y position from where they were cut or
copied. This only applies to objects cut or copied from within Xtreme Print Studio. Objects imported
