Objects on the Canvas can be transformed in a variety of ways. The Transform command allows you to modify the position, size, and shape of an object. You can transform an object with the mouse by first dragging the object onto the Canvas. You may type in percentages in the Transform tab. Use the Transform tab for the text forms requiring exact specifications in pixels or percentage.
