Moving layers

Moving layers in the Document window will be familiar to anyone who has worked with basic graphics applications.

If the Prevent Overlaps option is on, you will not be able to move a layer so that it overlaps another layer. See Preventing layer overlaps.

To move one or more layers, do one of the following:

	To move by dragging, select the layers and drag the selection handle of the last selected layer (highlighted in black).
	To move 1 pixel at a time, select the layers and use the arrow keys. Use Shift and an arrow key to move the layer by the current grid snapping increment. For information about setting the grid snapping increment, see Snapping layers to the grid.
