Hello Martin
What I would like to see in a future version of ArtWorks is improved
"nudge" capability, similar to the function provided in Xara.
Xara supports the following:-
O choice: Set nudge distance
A dist x 1 up,down,left,right arrow
B x 5 Ctrl + arrow
C x 10 Shift + arrow
E x 1/5 Ctrl + Shift + arrow
F 1 pixel Alt + arrow
G 5 pixels Alt + Shift + arrow
In addition Xara provides a real-time display of the x,y coordinates
and size of the object being nudged.
This combination makes it possible to produce complex layouts
accurately, simply and quickly.
ArtWorks currently supports O,A,and a 5x nudge with Shift +arrow.
We have discussed this possible enhancement at several shows and you
seemed to think it would be possible if a suitable key combination
could be found.
I haven't discussed the real-time information display with you but it
seems to be the sort of information that must be available to ArtWorks
already.
