The Select Tool

The Select tool allows you to select and modify individual
design components, or groups of design components.
Design components that have been selected using the Select
tool can be moved, duplicated, or deleted. They can also be
resized and rotated in either direction.
To duplicate a component, select it, then press CTRL on the
keyboard and click while dragging. When you have reached the
desired location on your Workspace, release the mouse button
to place the component.

in order to align them as you wish; for more information, see,

segments, such as resizing, stretching, or rotating, you will want
