1. Enable the tool
Click Transform in Tools. The button stays highlighted while the tool is active.
⌘-click (macOS) or Ctrl-click (Windows/Linux) a shape to select it and show the handles. Click empty canvas to turn it off.
Select shapes on the bed to show resize, move, and rotate handles.
2. On-canvas editing
Transform has no right-sidebar form. Use the handles directly:
| Handle | Action |
|---|---|
| Centre | Drag to reposition |
| Corner handles | Scale the selection (use shift+click to stretch out of proportion) |
| Edge handles | Stretch width or height independently |
| Rotation handle | Spins the group |
Toggle the tool off by clicking Transform again or choosing another left-toolbar icon.
3. Selection tips
Multi-select with shift-click or a drag box to transform several vectors as one group.
Laser tips
Scale Import and Text to fit your material boundary before assigning cut operations. Uniform scaling keeps stroke proportions consistent on decorative paths.
