Turn on the Fixed Resolution checkbox.

By default, the layer’s resolution is set to the project size.

To define a resolution other than the project, adjust the Fixed Width and Fixed Height
parameters.

Note: When an object within a fixed resolution layer is selected, the bounding box
around the object appears at its original size, unaffected by the containing layer’s
resolution.

Locking Layers and Objects

Once you’ve finished making adjustments to a particular object or layer, you can lock it
to prevent accidental modification. Locked objects cannot be moved, and their
parameters cannot be altered or animated. Animation and behaviors that were applied
to the object prior to being locked still play. Locking a layer also locks all objects and
layers nested within it.

To lock objects or layers, do one of the following:

m

Click the object’s lock icon in the Layers tab.
