Object Details Displays various details about selected objects, such as the position of points on the bounding box of a rectangle (as measured from the rulers’ zero point) and the number of points in a path object. For other objects, the field displays data such as the diameter of ovals and the angle of arcs. Object Information Displays information about selections. When one object is selected, the field displays the type of object selected. When multiple objects are selected, the field shows the number of objects selected. When you select an object group, the field displays “Group of n objects,” with n as the number of objects. Layer Information Displays the current page number and layer number. Symbols indicate layer options, including non-printing, locked, and color override. When an object is selected, the field dis- plays the object’s number in the sequence of objects on the layer. Undoing, redoing, and repeating actions You can easily correct mistakes, restore your work to an earlier state, and repeat commands using the Undo, Redo, and Again commands. The minimum and maximum number of times you can undo changes can be changed on the General tab in the Preferences dialog box. See “General preferences” on page 15.221. To cancel an action:  Choose Edit > Undo or press Com- mand+Z (Mac) or Ctrl+Z (Windows). You can also open the Undos palette by choosing Window > Palettes > Undos. In the palette, select an action that you want to undo. Not all actions can be canceled with the Undo command. Actions that cannot be canceled include scrolling; closing or reverting to an earlier version of a document; selecting and deselecting objects; deleting settings in palettes; and saving documents. To restore actions you canceled using Undo:  Choose Edit > Redo or select the Redo item in the Undos palette. You can choose Edit > Redo multiple times to reinstate canceled actions in reverse order. To repeat a command or other action:  Choose Again in the Edit menu. When an action can be repeated, the Again command includes the name of the action. For example, after you rotate an object, the Again command appears as “Rotate Again.” Not all actions can be repeated. The Again command isn’t avail- able if the previous action can’t be repeated. Tip If you undo an action, it will state “Redo” in the palette. Select the Redo item if you mistakenly undid an action.
