15.  With the adjusted shape still selected, open the Transform panel
              (Window>Transform).
               When a rectangle is selected, the Transform panel shows the corner radius of all four
               corners on the shape. If you find it difficult to achieve an exact radius by dragging, you
               can always use these fields to adjust the corner radius to specific values.

          16.  Make sure the Constrain icon between the Corner Radius fields is active
              (highlighted). Highlight any of the Corner Radius fields and type 12.
               Press Return/Enter to finalize the change.
               Because you are using the
               default unit of measurement
               (points), you don’t need to type                               These fields adjust the
               the unit.                                                      corner radius of each
                                                                              corner on the shape.
               Corner radius fields are only
               available in the Transform panel                               When this icon is active
               if the shape is a rectangle (with                              (highlighted), changing
               four 90° corner angles).                                       one Corner Radius field
                                                                              changes all four fields.
               Corner Radius fields can
               also be accessed by clicking
               the Shape hot-text link in the
               Control panel, or by clicking                                  More Options
               the More Options button in                                     button
               the Transform section of the
               Properties panel.

          17.  Choose the Selection tool in the Tools panel.
          18.  Using the Selection tool, press Option/Alt, then click the second shape
              and drag right.
               When you drag an object with the Selection tool, you move it to another location. If
               you press Option/Alt while dragging, you clone (make a copy of) the original object
               and move the clone.

               Again, Smart Guides make it easy to align objects. You can see the horizontal guide
               connecting the center of the original object to the center of the one you are cloning.
               Smart Guides also identify distances between objects, so you can place multiple
               objects at the same distances from one to the next. (Don’t worry about the exact spaces
               between the objects; you will define precise object spacing in a later exercise.)
