Locking icons in place while illustrating

Locking objects helps prevent accidental changes while illustrating. This feature allows you to fix icons or groups in place, giving you peace of mind as you work on other design elements.

Lock an object or group

  • Click on the object or group you want to lock.
  • On the quick edit bar, select Lock Object.

This will prevent the object from being moved or edited until you unlock it.

Unlock an object or group

  • Click on the locked object.
  • Select Unlock Object from the same location in the toolbar.
