    Moving small symbols with the free transform tool

    When I reposition small symbols with the free transform tool, I find it's easy to accidentally skew and distort a shape that I only want to move. Is there a workaround so I can only move and rotate them? Perhaps a way to "lock" other distortions?

    I am not aware of anything that limits which properties the FreeTransform controls. However, you can always Zoom in and out and have better control when you manipulate your objects. On a Mac (Command + Spacebar) zooms in +
    On a Mac (Command + Option + Spacebar) zooms out -

    On a PC (Control + Spacebar) zooms in +
    On a PC (Control + Alt + Spacebar) zooms out -

    Spacebar allows you to drag around the screen using your mouse.
    Hope that helps
