3. Repeat pressing the arrow key or hold it down until the object is
where you want it.
Each key press moves the object by one-tenth of an inch, so the

To move objects faster and farther
1. Select the object.

3. Hold down the arrow key.
Sizing Objects
You have several options for sizing objects on the Editor window:
z Use the Increase Size or Decrease Size tools. This method is good
for small changes. See the Using Increase Size and Decrease
Size section below for instructions.
z Use the <Scale> key on the keyboard. Use this method for size
changes of 25% and greater. See Using the Scale function on
page 7-31 for instructions.
z Use the Object Properties tool or press the <Object Properties>
key to set the absolute size of an object. To learn about this process,
see the Changing object properties on page 7-35
Using Increase Size and Decrease Size
The Editor window toolbar provides these two size tools, which increase
or decrease the size of the selected object proportionally by 10% of its
original size each time you select the tool.
z When you select Increase Size, your selected object becomes 10%
larger than its original size. If you repeat Increase Size, your
selected object becomes 10% larger than its new size.
