Transforming In Adobe Illustrator encompasses moving, rotating, reflecting, scaling, and shearing objects. You can transform objects using the Transform panel, commands, and specialized tools. You can also perform many types of transformations by dragging the bounding box for a selection. Sometimes you may want to repeat the same transformation several times, especially when you are copying objects. The Transform Again command in the Object menu lets you repeat a move, scale, rotate, reflect, or shear operation as many times as you want, until you perform a different transform operation.
