Alternatively, objects or path points can be numerically moved, rotated, scaled or slanted using the _**Transform panel**_.
Select the objects/path points that you wish to transform, go to **Modify > Rotate & Transform > Transform** [**⌘** - **⇧** - **T**] to open the Transform panel and choose from the tab menu between:
#### Move

2. **Distance** - Numerically set the distance or the direction of the movement using the Angle input box or the spinner.
3. **Copy** - Clicking this button will duplicate the objects first and then apply the rotation to the copied objects.
#### Rotate
