Nudge

The Nudge drawing aid allows you to move selected entities or subentities in small increments along the X, Y, or Z axis using the keyboard.

Using Nudge

  1. Select one or more entities or subentities (for example polyline segments or 3D solid faces).
  2. Do the following to move the selection:

    • Along the X axis of the current coordinate system:

      Hold down the Ctrl key, then use the left/right arrow keys.

      The Command line reads: NUDGE: offset along the X axis of the UCS: xx*

    • Along the Y axis of the current coordinate system:

      Hold down the Ctrl key, then use the up/down arrow keys.

      The Command line reads: NUDGE: offset along the Y axis of the UCS: xx*

    • Along the Z-axis of the current coordinate system:

      Hold down the Shift key, then use the up/down arrow keys.

      The Command line reads: NUDGE: offset along the Z axis of the UCS: xx*

* The step size used by the NUDGE functionality is based on the adaptive grid snap resolution. Zoom in/out to decrease/increase the step size.
