Grid and baseline grid
The grid is a series of intersecting dashed lines or dots that
you can use to precisely align and position objects in the
drawing window. The baseline grid consists of lines that
follow the pattern of a ruled sheet, helping you to align text
baselines.
To set up the grid and the baseline grid, click Tools
Options, and click Grid in the Document list of
categories.
Guidelines
Guidelines are lines that can be placed
anywhere in the drawing window to
aid in object placement. You can
select, move, rotate, lock, or delete a
guideline, and you can change its
color or dashed line pattern.
To add a guideline, drag from the vertical or horizontal
ruler into the drawing window, or click Tools
Options
and choose Guidelines from the Document list of
categories.
Snapping
When you move or draw an object, you can snap it to another
object in a drawing, to page elements (such as the center of
the page), to the document grid, pixel grid, baseline grid, or
the guidelines. When an object is moved near a snap point, it
is locked to the snap point.
To turn snapping on or off, click Snap To on the standard
toolbar, and enable or disable snapping for the page
elements you want.
Alignment guides
Alignment guides help you position objects more quickly.
These temporary guidelines appear when you create, resize,
or move objects in relation to the center or edges of nearby
objects.
To display alignment guides, click View
Alignment
Guides. To modify alignment guide settings, click
Window
Dockers Alignment and Dynamic Guides,
and choose the options you want.
Working with objects
Working with objects is an essential part of creating
drawings.
Select an object with the
Pick tool to activate the
selection handles. Drag a
corner handle to change
object dimensions
proportionally. Drag a
middle handle to change
object dimensions non-proportionally.
To select multiple objects, hold down Shift, and then click
each object.
To move a selected object, point to its center and then
drag the object to a new location. Press the Arrow keys
to nudge objects by a preset distance. To nudge by a
fraction of the preset distance, hold down Ctrl and press
an Arrow key. To nudge by a multiple of the preset
distance, hold down Shift and press an Arrow key.
Click twice an object to
activate the rotation
handles. Drag a corner
handle to rotate an object
clockwise or
counterclockwise. Drag a
middle handle to skew an
object interactively. Drag
the center to set the
relative center of an object.
When you group two or more objects, they are treated as a
single unit. Grouping lets you apply the same formatting to
all the objects within the group.
To group or ungroup selected objects, click Object
Group, and choose the option you want.
Objects in a drawing exist in a stacking order, usually the
order in which they are created or imported.
To change the order of selected objects, click Object
Order, and choose an option from the menu.
To select objects in the order in which they were created,
press the Tab key.
