To scale and constrain the aspect ratio, Shift-drag any object’s corner handles.

To scale from the center, Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) any object’s corner handles.
•
To set scale values in terms of percentages, choose Title > Transform > Scale, specify the values you want, and click OK.
•
To set scale values in terms of pixels, specify values for Width and Height in the Title Properties panel.
Note: Dragging the handles of a text object created with the Horizontal Type or Vertical Type tool changes its font size.
If the scaling is not uniform, the text’s aspect value also changes.
Change the rotation angle of objects
1
Select an object, or Shift-click to select multiple objects.
2
Do one of the following:
•
In the drawing area, place the cursor just outside any object’s corner points. When the cursor becomes the Rotate
icon
, drag in the direction you want to adjust the angle. Shift-drag to constrain the rotation to 45° increments.
•
Select the rotation tool
and drag any object in the direction you want.
•
Choose Title > Transform > Rotation, type a new Rotation value, and click OK.
•
Enter a value for Rotation in the Title Properties panel, or expand the Rotation category heading and drag the angle
control.
Distort an object or multiple objects
1
Select the object, or Shift-click to select multiple objects.
2
In the Properties section of the Title Properties panel, click the triangle next to Distort to show its X and Y options.
Adjust the X value to distort the text along the x axis. Adjust the Y value to distort along the y axis.
Note: Distort affects an entire graphic object’s horizontal (X) or vertical (Y) aspect. However, it affects each character in
a text object individually.

About object properties
You can apply custom properties to each object or group of objects you create, and save a combination of properties
as a style. Styles appear as buttons in the Title Styles panel. Use styles to maintain consistency across multiple titles in
a project.
