Positioning Elements

You can position elements in the following ways:

  • Drag the element to another position on the canvas.

    To restrict movement to the horizontal/vertical axis, hold down Ctrl/Cmd while dragging in one direction.

    This restricts movement to the direction in which you move the mouse most, that is, you can switch from horizontal to vertical by moving the mouse in this direction.

  • Select the element and use the arrow keys.

    To move an element in the coarse steps set on the toolbar, hold down Shift and use the arrow keys.

  • Select the element and change the Position values in the Properties section.

Note

If Enable Coarse Step is activated, all move actions use the coarse step width.
