Using the graphics ruler and grids
The graphics grid, graphics ruler, and autogrid (an alignment feature that
helps you draw or move objects in precise increments) help you size,
position, and align objects in a draw document.
You can change the ruler settings, turn the autogrid off, or hide the
graphics grid.
Moving objects
Move selected objects with the pointer, the keyboard, or by using
menu commands.
Remember that you can usually reverse your most recent action by clicking
on the Default button bar, or choosing Undo from the Edit menu. To revert
to the most recently saved version of your document, choose Revert from the
File menu.
