Move, resize or orientate objects in Sketch
is rather simple. When you click on a visible part of an object, little
black squares (handfuls) automatically appear around the object. That means
you are in selection mode.
The
multiple arrows cursor indicates we can move the object. This function
is available when you move upon a visible pat of the object. Click and
drag the object wherever you want on the work area.
If
you move the mouse on a handful, the cursor becomes a cross. If you click
and hold down the button, you will resize the object by dragging the cursor.
The object will be resized from the side you selected the black square.
If you click on a handful in an angle, the object will be resize horizontally
end vertically. If you want to modify the size without changing the height/width
ratio, hold down Ctrl while resizing. Respect the following sequence :
Click -> Ctrl -> Move the cursor. Otherwise
it won't work.
If
you select an object by double-clicking, you will alternate between select/move
move and rotate/incline mode. Your are in this mode when handfuls becomes
arrows. At this moment, if you select an handful in an angle (the cursor
change) you will rotate the object (note that the rotation angle is displayed
in degrees at the bottom of the Sketch window). If you hold down the Ctrl
button, the rotation will follow
the magnetic grid which increase the precision.
If you select an handful on a side of
the object, it will be inclined.
Press the space bar to quit this mode.
