Change Auto Shape properties precisely

Use the Auto Shape Properties panel to exert precise numeric control over a selected Auto Shape or to insert another Auto Shape into your document.

Note: This panel only supports Auto Shapes that appear in the Tools panel. It does not support third-party Auto Shapes or those in the Shapes panel (Window > Auto Shapes).

The properties that you can change depend on the type of Auto Shape.

  1. Insert an Auto Shape into your document.

  2. Select Window > Auto Shape Properties.

  3. Adjust the properties.

    For Rectangle shapes, you can lock the shape corners so that changes to one corner affect all four. You can also change the properties for each corner individually.

  4. To apply the changes, press Tab or Enter.

    To further adjust the Auto Shape on the canvas, use the control points. The corresponding values in the Auto Shape Properties panel are updated dynamically.
