Quick links to procedures on this page:
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.

The Transformations docker appears. |

• |
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. |
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.

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.
