The Transform menu - move, scale, and rotate selected geometry.
Each command has its own page - the tool in depth, its diagram, and links to the matching node and guide.
Move - translate the selected free points.
Scale - resize the selected free points around a center.
Rotate - turn the selected free points around a center.
Scale & Rotate - scale and rotate at once so a reference point lands on the handle.
Align Left - line the selected objects up on a shared edge or center.
Align Horizontal Center - line the selected objects up on a shared edge or center.
Align Right - line the selected objects up on a shared edge or center.
Align Top - line the selected objects up on a shared edge or center.
Align Vertical Center - line the selected objects up on a shared edge or center.
Align Bottom - line the selected objects up on a shared edge or center.
Distribute Horizontally - space the selected objects evenly; the Spacing pair evens the GAPS instead, which is what reads as even when the objects are different sizes.
Distribute Vertically - space the selected objects evenly; the Spacing pair evens the GAPS instead, which is what reads as even when the objects are different sizes.
Distribute Horizontal Spacing - space the selected objects evenly; the Spacing pair evens the GAPS instead, which is what reads as even when the objects are different sizes.
Distribute Vertical Spacing - space the selected objects evenly; the Spacing pair evens the GAPS instead, which is what reads as even when the objects are different sizes.
