 If a printer capture with multiple pages has vector objects, these are automatically flattened when you move to
another page. This means that once you switch pages within a capture, the vector object becomes part of
the background and you can no longer move the object.
Select or Unselect More Than One Vector Object
 Hold down <SHIFT> as you click each object.
 To unselect one or more of the selected objects, click the object again.
 As you hold down <SHIFT> and pass the cursor over objects, either a plus sign (if the object is not already
selected) or a minus sign (if the object is already selected) displays.
 To select all vector objects, right-click on canvas and select Select All Objects.
Arranging Objects on the Canvas
Group and Ungroup Objects
Draw tab > Object group > Arrange button > Group > Group or Ungroup.
 Group multiple vector objects together to make moving easier. After objects are grouped together, they behave
as one vector object.
 Ungroup previously grouped vector objects. After objects are ungrouped, they behave as individual vector
objects.
Align Objects
Draw tab > Object group > Arrange button > Select align option from list.
Use to change the alignment of two or more selected objects:
 Left
Align the left edges of the selected objects.
 Center
Align the horizontal centers of the selected objects.
 Right

 Middle
Align the vertical centers of the selected objects.
 Bottom
Align the bottom edges of the selected objects.
Change the Order of Objects
Draw tab > Object group > Arrange button > Order > Select order option from list.
Move a vector object backward and forward through layers of vector objects. Each time a new vector object is added, it
is created on a new layer that is in front of the existing objects.
 Bring to Front
Bring the selected object to the front most layer of objects. The object is in front of all other objects.
 Send to Back
Send the selected object to the back most layer of objects. The object is behind of all other objects.
 Bring Forward
Bring the selected object forward one layer.
 Send Backward
Send the selected object backward one layer.
