Application Guide

Note: If an immovable object (such as the graph axes or a point with locked
coordinates) is included in a selection or group, you cannot move any of the objects.
You must cancel the selection and then select only movable items.
To move this... Drag this
A multiple-object
selection or group
Any of its objects
A point The point
A segment or
vector
Any point other than an endpoint
A line or ray The identifying point
A circle The center point
Other geometric
shapes
Any position on the object except one of its defining points. For
example, move a polygon by dragging any of its sides.
Constraining Object Movement
Holding down the SHIFT key before dragging lets you constrain how certain objects are
drawn, moved, or manipulated.
Use the constraint feature to:
• Rescale only a single axis in the Graphs application.
• Pan the work area horizontally or vertically, depending on which direction you drag
initially.
• Limit object movement to horizontal or vertical.
• Limit point placement to 15° increments as you draw a triangle, rectangle, or
polygon.
• Limit angle manipulations to 15° increments.
• Limit the radius of a resized circle to integer values.
