1. A method of facilitating precise rotational and translational positioning of an object representation on a display screen, said method comprising:
- selecting said object representation displayed on said display screen;
displaying a single numerical readout of the relative movement of said object representation adjacent said object representation during movement of said object representation whereby said numerical readout dynamically changes in response to said movement; and
moving said object representation from a first position on said display screen to a second position on said screen whereby said step of displaying causes said numerical readout to move along with said displayed object representation.

Abstract
A method of, and system for, accurately manipulating objects on a screen to obtain a desired layout. Objects are called or built and then manipulated in terms of rotation and/or displacement. Accurate manipulation is facilitated by displaying a readout of the extent of rotation and/or displacement. Upon obtaining a desired layout, the layout is stored, printed, used to drive a process, etc.

8. A system for facilitating precise rotational and translational positioning of an object representation on a display screen, said system comprising:
-
(a) means for selecting said object representation being displayed on said display screen; (b) means for moving said object representation from a first position on said display screen to a second position on said display screen; and (c) means for causing a display of a numerical readout of the relative movement of said object representation adjacent said object representation during movement of said object representation such that said numerical readout moves along with the displayed object representation.
