Nudge??

Chad Lutsey's Photo Chad Lutsey 25 Aug 2020

Does this command exist in 5? If I want to move an object (line) but don't have a precise dimension I want to go, what can I use to 'Nudge' the object in the direction I want it to go? I have tried various combinations of arrow keys with the standard Shift, Alt, Ctrl, and the WIn key as well. No luck. Am I missing something? TIA ~Chad

Hello,
to move an object several methods, but without precise dimension this can:
- Click for selection: click on the handles (end, middle), without letting go, then drag to move in the direction of your choice.

The displacement and the angle is quantified at the bottom left of the software.
If you enter a value with the numeric keypad + enter before placing the object, it quantifies the displacement in the direction of your choice.

In this type of software everything is done with the mouse, the arrows do not allow the movement of objects

Thanks! I had hoped for more, but at least I didn't miss the snake in the grass... It's too bad the arrows are more responsive - perhaps over time.
