You can distort graphic objects by using the Distort command. You can also distort objects when
freely transforming them. See “Transforming objects freely” on page 126.
Note: The Distort command cannot modify symbols, bitmaps, video objects, sounds, gradients, object groups, or
text. If a multiple selection contains any of these, only the shape objects are distorted. To modify text, first convert
the characters to shape objects.
To distort graphic objects:
1 Select a graphic object or objects on the Stage.
2 Choose Modify > Transform > Distort.
3 Place the pointer on one of the transformation handles and drag.
4 To end the transformation, click outside the selected object or objects.
Modifying shapes with the Envelope modifier
The Envelope modifier lets you warp and distort objects. An envelope is a bounding box that
contains one or more objects. Changes made to an envelope’s shape affect the shape of the objects
contained within the envelope. You edit the shape of an envelope by adjusting its points and
tangent handles. See “Adjusting segments” on page 68.
To modify a shape with the Envelope modifier:
1 Select a shape on the Stage.
2 Choose Modify > Transform > Envelope.
3 Drag the points and tangent handles to modify the envelope.
Note: The Envelope modifier cannot modify symbols, bitmaps, video objects, sounds, gradients, object groups, or
text. If a multiple selection contains any of these, only the shape objects are distorted. To modify text, first convert
the characters to shape objects.
Scaling objects
Scaling an object enlarges or reduces the object horizontally, vertically, or both. You can scale an
object by dragging or by entering values in the Transform panel.
To scale objects by dragging:
1 Select a graphic object or objects on the Stage.
2 Choose Modify > Transform > Scale.
