Transform	Repeat Transform Repeats the last transformation applied to an object. Move Moves the selected object. You can create a copy and move it. Moving an object/multiple objects Scale Resizes an object horizontally or vertically. You can create a copy and resize it. Resizing an object Rotate/Skew Rotates or skews an object at an angle of specific degrees. Skewing an object with the same X/Y axis degrees renders the same effect as rotating the object at an angle of the same degrees. Rotating an object Skewing an object Reflect Flips an object horizontally or vertically. You can also flip an object in various ways by specifying the angle of axis.
Rotate 90 CW Rotates the selected object at an angle of 90 degree clockwise. Rotate 180 Rotates the selected object at an angle of 180 degree clockwise. Rotate 90 CCW Rotates the selected object at an angle of 270 degree clockwise.
Reflect Horizontal Flips an object horizontally. Flipping an object horizontally Reflect Vertical Flips an object vertically. Flipping an object vertically
Reset Bouding Box Sets the Bounding Box of the transformed path object to default. Reset Bounding Box
Arrange	Bring to Front Brings the selected object to the forefront. The object is positioned at the top of the layer it belongs to. Bring Forward Brings the selected object one step forward in the layer it belongs to. Bring Backward Brings the selected object one step backward in the layer it belongs to. Send to Back Brings the selected object to the back. The objected is positioned at the bottom of the layer it belongs to. Arranging the objects
Align	Left Aligns the objects to the left edge of the last selected object. Center Aligns the selected objects to the horizontal center of the last selected object. Right Aligns the objects to the right edge of the last selected object.
Top Aligns the objects to the top edge of the last selected object. Middle Aligns the selected objects to the vertical middle of the last selected object. Bottom Aligns the objects to the bottom edge of the last selected object. Aligning objects
Distribute	Left Distributes the left edges of the selected objects with the same space. Center Distributes the horizontal centers of the selected objects with the same space. Right Distributes the right edges of the selected objects with the same space.
Top Distributes the top edges of the selected objects with the same space. Middle Distributes the vertical middle of the selected objects with the same space. Bottom Distributes the bottom edges of the selected objects with the same space.

Make Same Size	Width Adjusts the widths of the selected objects to that of the last selected object. Height Adjusts the heights of the selected objects to that of the last selected object. Both Adjusts the sizes of the selected objects to that of the last selected object. Making the same size
Group	Binds multiple objects in one group. Grouped objects behave like a single object. Activated only when you select more than one object or group. Grouping objects
Ungroup	Unbinds the grouped objects. Ungrouped objects behave individually. Activated only when you select a group. Ungrouping objects
Rasterize	Converts the selected objects into bitmapped images.
Convert To Path	Converts texts or objects to path objects. You can edit an object converted to a path object in various ways. Converting texts to path objects Converting objects to path objects
Path	Reverse Path Direction Reverses the path order or direction. Reverse path direction Join Path Joins paths. Close Path Closes paths.
Combine Path	Union Converts the selected paths into one path or compound path. Intersect Converts the selected paths into one path consisting of their intersection. Exclude Converts the selected paths into one compound path consisting of their alternating overlapping parts. Subtract Converts the selected paths into one path consisting of the non-overlapped part of the bottom-most path.
Clipping Mask	Make Makes the overlapping area of the selected objects function as a masked object. Setting Mask Release Releases the objects grouped by masking and separates them as individual objects. Releasing Mask
Compound Path	Make Makes the selected object as one compound path. You can make overlapping parts of two or more objects transparent by creating a compound path. Creating a Compound Path Release Releases the selected compound path and separates them as individual objects. Releasing a Compound Path
Hyperlink	Applies a hyperlink to the selected object. The specified hyperlink functions only when you save the image in an SVG file format. Applying a hyperlink to an object
Canvas Properties	Specifies the document width, height, background color. Modifying Canvas properties
