This tool is used to scroll the design around within the Design Window, and to scroll colourways within the Layout Window.
- Click on the Hand Tool in the Tools Palette or press the H key on the keyboard.
- Move the cursor over the design. The cursor changes to a hand icon.
- Click and hold down the cursor and drag across the design. You will see that the design moves in the direction that you drag, just like moving artwork on your desk.
If you move a design to the edge of a window it will automatically scroll in the direction in which the cursor is being moved.
Tip: Holding down the spacebar when you have any other tool selected will change the cursor to a hand and allow you to drag the design around the screen. This avoids having to select the Hand tool when you are already working with another tool.
