Working with Objects
Macromedia FreeHand lets you manipulate objects in a number of ways. You can
group objects to treat them as a single unit and nest groups within a group. You
can move objects using the mouse or keyboard or by specifying a precise location.
You can align objects to each other or align them to the page.
FreeHand provides enhanced cut-and-paste functions that let you control
how objects are copied to and from your drawings. You can also clone or
duplicate objects.
You can make global selections or replacements within a drawing by searching
for graphics with particular attributes, such as stroke width or shape.
Undoing actions
Using the Edit > Undo and Redo commands, you can undo or redo up to 100
actions, depending on the memory available to your system. You can undo an
action after you’ve saved a file, but not after you’ve closed and reopened it.
You can also undo any number of actions by reverting to the last saved version
of the file.
To undo or redo an action, do one of the following:
• Choose Edit > Undo to undo an action. If the Undo command is dimmed, you
cannot undo the action.
• Choose Edit > Redo to redo the action.
