Chapter 5 The Environment 205

If you hold down Shift, you can also grab Keyboard or Fader Objects by their surface.

Remember to first deselect any other selected Objects by clicking on the layer

background, to avoid moving them as well.

Snapping Objects to a Grid

Select View > Snap Positions to align the Objects to an invisible grid. It’s a good idea to

leave snap positions switched on. You only need to switch it off if you want to manually

move an Object by a few pixels.

You can use the Object move left/right/up/down key commands to move all selected

Objects one pixel in the relevant direction, even when the grid is switched on.

Aligning Objects …

… in a row or column

To align several selected Objects horizontally or vertically, select the Options > Clean up

> Align Objects function. The top left Object stays where it is. The position of the next

Object determines whether the Objects are aligned in a column or a row. If it is to the

right of the top left Object, all Objects are aligned horizontally (row). If it is below the

top left Object, all Objects are aligned vertically (column).

…to grid positions

If you choose Options > Clean up > Positions by Grid, all selected Objects are aligned to

the invisible grid.

Moving Objects between Layers

…with the layer selection box

To alter the layer assignment of a group of Environment Objects, first select the

Objects, and then select the desired layer, while holding down Option. This moves the

selected Objects to the chosen layer.

… with a second Environment window

Another way of moving Objects to a different layer is to open a second Environment

window. Select the target layer and drag the relevant Objects from one window to the

other. You can also use this method to copy Objects between layers (by holding

Option).

… via the Clipboard

Another option is to move Objects via the Clipboard (Edit menu or the usual key

commands):

• Select the Objects that you want to move and choose Edit > Cut (default key

Command-X).

• Switch to the destination layer.

• Make sure that no Objects are selected (by clicking on the layer background).

• Select Edit > Paste (default key Command-V).
