Move objects
Moving an object on a page is sometimes referred to as "translating it."
Although you can use the selection tools in the toolbox to drag an object wherever you want, the Action Bar offers the benefit of numeric precision. For example, the Action Bar lets you move an object an exact distance, such as 24 pixels to the right and 14 pixels down.

Type or select the amount you want to move the selection in the X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) axes. Positive values move an object to the right or up. Negative values move it to the left or down.
