These are tips that I used many times when dealing with shapes when doing cascading text. But, it does not matter they are useful for any shapes you are working with.
1. First if you need to quickly dupe a shape you can use Control D. That will immediately produce a duplicate shape. If you are duping the shape for purposes of doing Cascading Text (meaning you are using right triangles) then you are going to need to use the flip horizontal feature so that you make sure that the second triangle is facing in towards the first right triangle.
2. Whether you are using right triangles or not and wish to affect both of the shapes " simultaneously" so that making a shape larger, smaller, wider, narrower, the two independent shapes will respond exactly the same if you do the following:
A. Click on the first shape 1 time
B. Go to the second shape and do Shift Click
C. Now whatever you do will affect both shapes simultaneously.
D. Micro Moving shapes is easy as well. If you need to nudge a shape into place whether it is a text box, (red herring), lines, arrows, ovals etc. you click twice on the lines of the shape and then using your control and directional arrow keys you can micro move the object into place. Up, down, left, right. Give it a try.
