Manipulating objects

Computing

In this unit pupils discover how to use drawing tools to create vector images. They will recognise that images in vector drawings are created using shapes and lines and individual elements are called a objects. Pupils use layering, grouping and duplication to create more complex images.

Introduction to vector graphics

What term describes making an exact copy of an object in a drawing in one action?

Place the duplicated group in the desired position

Arrange the steps for duplicating a group of objects:

Why might you ungroup objects in a drawing?

It allows multiple objects to move and change together

Why is grouping objects helpful in a drawing?

Only one object in the group changes size

What happens when you resize a group of objects in a drawing?

A level where objects sit on top or behind each other

A shape or line that can be moved and changed

Put these actions in order for changing the position of an object:

It limits the number of objects you can add

What is the main advantage of using layers in vector drawings?

What term describes turning an object around a central point?

What term describes changing the size of an object in a drawing?
