skew angle you chose.
• Horizontal. A positive value skews the object to the left, and a
negative value skews it to the right. You can set skew angles from
-89 to 89 degrees.
• Vertical A positive value skews the object upwards, and a negative
value skews it downwards. You can set skew angles from -89 to 89
degrees.
Click on Skew. Drawing redraws the selected objects as specified. You can
continue to click on Skew to apply the skewing repeatedly until you
achieve the result you want.

Untransforming Objects
You can remove any skewing, scaling, or rotations you have made to an
object, reverting to the original drawing. You might want to do this, for
example_if you we_, cxp¢rimenting With different transformations and
wanted to reverse everything you have done.
Untransforming removes all transformations you have applied to an object. To

object in reverse.
I!_To untransform an object:

2. Select Untransform from the Transform menu. Drawing redraws selected
objects removing all transformations.
Duplicating Objects
It is often useful to duplicate an object instead of recreating it. You can also
perform custom duplications that will rotate, move, scale, or skew the
duplicate.
