Move objects

To move an object, you can drag the object, use the arrow keys, use the Property inspector, or use the Info panel.

Select an object or multiple objects.
Select the Selection tool , position the pointer over the object, and do one of the following:
- To move the object, drag it to the new position.
- To copy the object and move the copy, Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Macintosh).
- To constrain the object’s movement to multiples of 45°, Shift-drag.
