You can move objects by dragging, by specifying distance and direction, or by nudging. You can also move an object while you are drawing it.
Super nudging and micro nudging let you move objects into place by increments. By default, you can nudge objects in 0.01-inch increments, but you can change the nudge values to suit your needs.
| To move an object | |
1. |
Select an object.
|
2. |
Click Arrange  Transformations Position.
|
The Transformations docker appears. |
3. |
Use one of the following methods:
|
• |
Horizontal and vertical — type the horizontal and vertical values to move the
object
|
• |
Length and angle — type the distance and angle to move the object
|
• |
Set distance interactively — click the Set position interactively button
 ,
and drag the pointer in the drawing window to specify the distance and angle to
move the object
|
• |
Gap and direction — enable the second option in the docker, type a value for
the gap, and choose the direction to move the object. This option moves the
object in the selected direction at a distance equal to the height or width of its
bounding box plus the specified gap.
|
If you want to leave the original object unchanged and apply the transformation to copies that are created, type a number in the Copies box. |
4. |
Click Apply.

 |
By default, the point of origin (0,0) is at the lower-left corner of the drawing
page. When you enable the Relative position check box in the
Transformations docker, the position of the center anchor point of the object,
and not the point of origin of the drawing page, is identified as 0,0 in the H
and V boxes. When you specify a different position in the H and V boxes, the
values represent a change from the current position as measured from the
center anchor point of the object.
|
 |
You can also move a selected object by dragging it to another position in the
drawing.
|
You can set a precise location for the object by clicking the Geometric
properties button
 on the property bar and typing values in the Property
manager docker.
|
You can use snapping to move an object with precision. For more information,
see Working with precision.
|
| To move an object while drawing | |
1. |
Start drawing an object.
|
2. |
Hold down the right mouse button without releasing the left mouse button, and
drag the unfinished object to its new position.
|
3. |
Release the right mouse button, and continue drawing.
|
Moving an object while drawing
| To nudge an object | |
| To set nudge distances | |
1. |
Click Tools Options.
|
2. |
In the Document list of categories, click Rulers.
|
3. |
Type a value in the Nudge box.
|
4. |
Type a value in one of the following boxes:
|
• |
Super nudge
|
• |
Micro nudge
|
|
You can also set the nudge distance by deselecting all objects and typing a
value in the Nudge distance box on the property bar.
|
To save the new nudge distances to use in new drawings, click Tools Save
settings as default.
