Moving objects in a ClipView

ClipView lets you use an object as a "window" onto other objects. You see only those parts of other objects that are within the window. We call this creating a ClipView. You can move the window object to change your view. (The window object remains visible.)

To move objects in a ClipView

You can move a ClipView in the regular way. You can also move the window object relative to the others in the ClipView. This changes which parts of the other objects you can see.

The original ClipView (in these examples the blue ellipse is the window object):

To move or change the window object:

1. Using the Selector Tool select the ClipView - see Selecting objects.

2. Click the top-left keyhole

This selects just the window object. Any changes you now make (such as moves and resizing) apply only to the window object.

To move or change the other objects in the ClipView:

1. Using the Selector Tool select the ClipView - see Selecting objects.

2. Click the center keyhole:

This selects all the objects in the ClipView except the window object. Any changes you now make (such as moves and resizing) apply only to these objects.

Notes:

You can also select any object in the ClipView using Select Inside.

After using the keyholes or Select Inside, drag the selected objects if you want to move them. Clicking on any other object deselects any currently selected objects.
