Hold Ctrl while editing
Ctrl is a constraint key while you drag, not only during rotation.
| Hold | While | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Ctrl | Dragging a shape | Move only horizontally or vertically |
| Ctrl | Dragging a reshape point | Move only horizontally or vertically |
| Ctrl | Resizing a corner | Temporarily invert the aspect-ratio lock |
| Ctrl | Rotating | Snap to 15° |
| Ctrl | Drawing a rectangle | Draw a perfect square |
| Ctrl | Plotting open, closed, or satin points | Snap the next point to 15° |
| Ctrl | Measuring | Snap the measure line to 15° |
Resizing inverts whatever is currently set: if aspect lock is off, Ctrl locks the ratio; if it's on, Ctrl temporarily unlocks it. Let go and the lock returns to its previous state.
In reshape, Ctrl+click still adds or removes a point from the selection if you don't drag.
Snapping
Grid snap and object snap are independent toggles in the Visibility sidebar (or the empty-canvas right-click menu).
Snap to grid uses a finer grid; Fine grid sets how many smaller squares fit in each cell (2–12). Snap to objects aligns to other shapes' edges and centers, with magenta guides and a crosshair when a shape is centered inside another.
