Move the shadow

Moving the shadow relative to the object gives the effect of moving the object towards or away from the page (Wall shadow) or tilting the page (Floor shadow).

image\PRCARROW.gif To move a shadow

1. Select the object (see Selecting objects). (See notes.)

2. Choose the Shadow Tool.

3. Drag over the shadow.

 Or, for precise movements of a Wall shadow, change the values in the X-Y text boxes. Either click the arrows to the right or type in new values. X-Y values are the center of the shadow relative to the center of the objects.

Notes:

image\BULLET.gif If you select multiple shadows, a target image\SHADTARG.gif appears in the center of the selection. Drag the target to move all the shadows. Or you can drag on a shadow to move just that shadow.

image\BULLET.gif You can also use the Shadow Tool to select objects - more details.

image\BULLET.gif You cannot move Glow shadows as these are always directly behind the object.
