Locking and Unlocking Objects
Locking and Unlocking Objects
When you want to secure objects from unintentional changes, you can lock them. Once an object is locked, it can only be selected by Tab-clicking the object. However, if the Canvas 6-style object locking option in the Preferences dialog box is selected, you can select locked objects by clicking on them. Locked objects can be copied, but the copies won’t be locked.
To Lock or Unlock Objects:
- Select the objects that you want to lock or unlock.
- Choose Object | Lock or Object | Unlock (Unlock All, if no objects are selected).
How Commands Affect Locked Objects
If you apply the Align command to several selected objects, and one object is locked, the other objects align to the locked object.
If you group several objects and one of the objects is locked, all the objects are positioned behind the locked object in the stacking order.
