Move or edit an Object
A selected object usually shows a bounding box. Selection handles appear when the pointer is over the object. When
the pointer is over a locked object, no selection handles appear. When you select multiple objects, the last object
you select becomes the anchor and appears red; the others appear blue. 周e anchor object remains stationary dur-
ing alignment operations.
To make another object in the selection the anchor object, Ctrl-click the new target object twice, once to remove
the object from the selection, and once to add it back to the selection. As the last object added to the selection, it
becomes the anchor object.

* Click the object with the TouchUp Object tool (Tools > Advanced Editing).
* Click the object with the Select Object tool , or with the tool you used to
create the object.
* Right-click the object and choose Select All from the context menu. If the
Select Object tool is active and the document uses single-page layout, all
objects on the current page are selected. If the document is in any other page
layout, all objects in the document are selected. If a tool in the Advanced
Editing toolbar is active, all objects of that type in the document are selected.
* Drag to create a rectangle around the
desired objects. If the Select Object tool
