Perform Operations Using Multi-Selection

You can select multiple objects on a layout or page visuals tab and apply building tool operations. To select multiple objects, hold down the Shift key on your keyboard and select the objects on the layout or visuals tab. Apart from using the build tools to manipulate multiple selected objects at a time, you can also:
  • Move all selected objects to a different position within the layout by dragging them or using arrow keys.
  • Resize/Scale all selected objects collectively.

Move Objects Using Arrow Keys

Using the arrow keys on your keyboard, you can control the movement or positioning of an object. You can also select and move multiple objects on a layout.
  1. Select the object/s you want to move.
  2. Use left/right/up/down arrow key to move left/right/upward/downward on the display area.

    The object/s moves one pixel per key stroke.

  3. To continuously move the object/s in the associated direction, long press the respective key and release when done.

    On the Details panel, notice the Offset Left and Offset Right values are automatically adjusted to reflect the new position of the moved object/s.

Copy and Paste Objects on a Layout

You can duplicate object/s by copy/pasting them. Once copied, you can paste the duplicate in the desired location within the layout. In this way, you can create an identical copy of the object/s. This action allows you to easily create multiple instances of the same object without manually recreating it from scratch. Duplicates can be modified independently.
