Operation Manual

Working with Objects 75
To copy-shear, use the Ctrl key while dragging—this preserves the
original object, while shearing the new copied object as you drag.
To undo the rotation or shear (restore the original
object):
• Double-click the object with the Shear cursor active.
Joining objects
Objects you create on the page can be just the starting point in your
design. For drawn shapes and ready-to-go QuickShapes, it is possible to
treat these objects as "building blocks" in the creation of more complex
shapes.
The Shape Builder Tool can be used to join together any collection of
shapes in a fun and intuitive way, without the need for prior selection of
shapes.
