What happened to the option/enter command in the move object dialog that has been around since the early days of Illustrator??? Instead of having to mouse click the "copy" button in the move object window, one could just hold down option with Return or Enter and the Copy command would happen rather than a simple move. Immensely useful for prepress work!
way to change the number of pixels that you can move when you are nudging an object. The Help just says you can use arrow keys to nudge one pixel and the arrow key and the Shift key to nudge it 10 pixels.
I would like to be able to adjust it to less than one pixel is it possible.
I have moved my layers around all the time with my arrow keyes... you know, a nudge. Today, Photoshop says that I can't nudge... it says "Could not nudge the selection because the pixels in a type layer cannot be modified without first rasterizing the layer."
I've never had to rasterize it before... is there a setting I accidentally hit?
It's hard making very tiny adjustments to the rotation of a pic using a mouse and if I have to zoom in, I can not see the whole pic in order to rotate it to. Is there a way, so that once it is in free transform or when you grab the corners to rotate it, that it goes in smaller increments or how do you nudge rotate it.
i can nudge with the arrow keys when moving an image but can't nudge rotate an image, the arrow keys will only move the image up and down or left to right.
I'm trying to create an action which places my logo layer on the image in the corner. I have used the Align menu commands in the action, which aligns it to the edge. However, I would like to nudge the layer a few pixels in so that it's not completely at the edge. No matter what I try, I can't get the nudge events to get recorded into the action.
I like to use .001 for nudge and 20 for super nudge, so every time I open a new file I need to change it from the default settings of .1 and 2. I've always wondered if I could set my own defaults and it occurred to me to ask on the forum. I can't find it anywhere on the options menu..
I want to change the shortcut for super nudge from shift + arrow to ctrl + shift + arrow. I can't find super nudge or micro nudge in the keyboard shortcuts list. I tried checking "navigate to conflict on assign" but that doesn't seem to work very well in general and fails completely with super and micro nudge.
I'm aware that when using "pixel mode" at a certain zoom level Draw Ignores your settings for "nudge" and does it's own thing. (I think it's when the pixel grid appears and in my case this is at 800%) However, I've found a "feature" which seems like a mistake.
In large zooms in pixel mode objects move 0.5 pixels with the arrow keys, however when using the node edit tool your setting applies.
Personally I'd prefer Draw to always use the settings that you specify but I was told that the change of setting at large zoom levels was intentional - if this is true why do my nodes move differently to objects? This inconsistency can't be "intended"?
I started a project and got it pretty screwed up... so not readily finding any way to delete things quickly (delete key does nothing) I closed out the project and started another one. (Rather than pound my way thru piles of documentation looking for a way to mass delete).
In the first project the arrow keys moved objects around as expected. In the second project, arrow keys do nothing whatever.
this Nudge command. Seems like it could be very useful, and I must say i like the IDEA of it (to those not familiar, you hold CTRL and hit arrow keys to slightly shift an object) but how to set the distance default on it. It seems to me to just move things by whatever distance it feels like.For my job specifically, I need 1/2" increments. how to set that variable?
I searched through all the key short cuts, looked through the user guide and I'm at a loss where you can nudge a clip back and forth by single frames. I saw you can hold 'D" and SLIP the clips one frame at a time, but not move them outright.
So, since nudging is one of the absolute most basic requirements of any editor, I know it's in there. But alas, they hid it too well. here it might be?
Maybe hiding next to a trim mode I don't see where I can see how my slips and slides affect the area around the clip?
After I move an image or line of type to where I want it on a Photoshop CS5.1 layer, it moves an extra pixel. It is incredibly annoying and want it to stop before I start screaming. I've turned off all "Snap" and "Snap To" menu items.
I keep getting this Error Message when i try and move something i have pasted into CS5.1."Can't Move the objects. The Command was Canceled" . It isn't locked. It's the only thing on the layer ( the layer isn't locked nor the image ).
How to move 2 points towards (or away) from each other at the same time? After selecting the points with the direct selsection tool, i seem to remember that there was a quick key command that would move the points either towards each other at the same time or away with a similar command.
I've got a project where the same set of paths, all on a same layer, repeat multiple times, forming a sort of spline. Is there any way to select a whole layer, and only that layer, then move it about the canvas?
How do I move objects in Illustrator, so they snap to grid? I can draw new objects in such way that they snap to grid, but I cannot snap existing objects when I move them around. Why?
--> I dont know what pixel preview is. edit>pref.>guides&grid show pixel grid is checked
-->I am trying to make my objects snap to the grid when I move them around, not just stay in a random place.
Say I have a circle. I want to grab I assume the top anchor point, and drag it down. The resulting shape would roughly be a fat U, or maybe like a mushroom head turned upside down. I thought it was hold spacebar and click but it doesn't seem to be.
