The Move Tool allows you to select layer content. Once selected, the Move Tool allows you to move, rotate, and resize the selected content.
Settings
The following settings are available on the context toolbar:
Preferences—provides access to the Preferences dialog for advanced application settings (shows when no content is selected).
Reset Selection Box—after reshaping, rotating, or shearing the layer content, this option resets the selection box to vertical (shows when layer content is selected):
Lock Children—when checked, any child layer(s) of a selected ungrouped layer cannot be altered when the selected layer is transformed. Great for maintaining the size, position and aspect ratio of a clipped picture when resizing its parent layer.
For vector content, the context toolbar options update depending on the object selected. Settings may include the following:
Fill—click the colour swatch to display a pop-up panel to update fill colour.
Stroke—click the colour swatch to display a pop-up panel to update stroke colour.
Line style—click to display a pop-up panel to set the Width and line style.
Show Rotation Centre—displays a movable rotation centre about which the shape can be rotated.
Hide Selection—when selected, the object's selection box is temporarily hidden when transforming the object. If this option is off, the selection box remains visible during transformation. The selected behaviour persists across all objects unless it is manually switched.
Reset Selection Box—after reshaping, rotating, or shearing the shape, this option resets the selection box to vertical.
Convert to Curves—converts the selected object into a series of connected lines and nodes.
Ungroup—splits selected group into individual content for focused manipulation.
