Nudge

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

Note: Entities from a locked layer cannot be nudged.

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.
