Move an object to a different layer or parent
When fine-tuning the layout of the objects in your document, you might want to move an object (such as a Button) from one layout panel (such as a Grid) to another. For example, you might do this if you want the object to be aligned with the other objects of the destination panel.

On the Toolbar, click Direct Selection
, and then click the object on the artboard that you want to move in your Microsoft Expression Blend document. -
