Layer Transform Tool Properties

When enabled, you can drag the selection by clicking anywhere inside its bounding box. By default, you must click on the artwork in the selection to be able to drag it.

Shows or hides the translation controls in the Stage view when using the Layer Transform tool on a layer. The controls are displayed by default.

Shows or hides the rotation controls in the Stage view when using the Layer Transform tool on a layer. The controls are displayed by default.

Shows or hides the scale controls in the Stage view when using the Layer Transform tool on a layer. The controls are displayed by default.

Allows you to enable or disable snapping for this tool and all other animation and drawing tools that support snapping, as well as to select which types of snapping are enabled.

If you double-click or long-click on this button, it will open a pop-up menu in which you can toggle different snapping modes. You can also click on this button to toggle it off, which will disable all snapping modes, and click on it again and toggle it on to re-enable the snapping modes which were previously enabled.

This tool supports the following snapping modes :

• Snap to Contour: While moving the selection or one of its control points, it will snap against the nearby points and contours of your artwork, allowing you to snap parts of your artwork together.

• Snap to Alignment Guides: While moving the selection or one of its control points, it will snap against nearby alignment guides—see About Alignment Guides.

• Snap and Align: While moving the selection, the rectangular bounding box of the selection will align with the rectangular bounding boxes of other layers in the current panel. If you move one of your selection's control points, it will also align with the bounding boxes of other layers.

  

When enabled, the layer or 3D element will snap against the nearby surfaces of 3D objects.

Flips the selection vertically.

Flips the selection horizontally.

Rotates the selection 90° clockwise.

Rotates the selection 90° counterclockwise.

The Reset Pivot button resets the current layer’s pivot point to its original position at the centre of the camera frame. You can also select Layer > Pivot > Reset Pivot.

By default, the pivot is positioned at the center of the camera frame. Use this button to set the pivot at the centre of the selected layer. You can also select Layer > Pivot > Center Pivot on Selection.

Lets you set the velocity at which the layer movement begins.

You can enter the duration of the ease in after the first frame in which the gradual change layer movement begins. For example, if you want to slowly accelerate to the normal layer speed from frame 1 to 10, enter a value of 10.

Lets you set the velocity at which the layer movement ends.

You can enter the duration of the ease out after the first frame in which the gradual change in layer movement begins. Enter the number of frames before the last frame in which the change in layer movement is gradual.
