Moving diamond fill handles
Diamond fills are controlled by two fill arrows joined at the base pointing out from the center of the diamond. To move the whole diamond shape, move the center fill handle. To squash, skew and scale the diamond, move the outer handles.
To move diamond fill handles
1. Select the diamond filled object (see Selecting objects).
2. Choose the Fill Tool.
3. Drag the fill handle.
Tips
If you hold down CTRL while you drag the fill handle its movement is constrained to 45 degree intervals. This is useful for stretching the fill in one direction.
If the Shift key is held down whilst dragging a fill arrow, the angle between the two fill arrows is locked during the drag preventing the diamond from being stretched or skewed making it easy to scale it.
You can also use the Selector Tool to move fill handles if you have set up the Selector Tool to show fill handles on objects. See Enabling fill handles.
You can move fill handles using the cursor keys, see Nudging objects and handles.
