Is there a way to change nudge distance without going into menus ? Something i missed or there is no option to do that on a tool bar ?
I work in coreldraw and it has a toolbar that allows me to change how much object/node moves by using cursor keys (half/double modifiers apply automatically), while if i need to do something similar in LB i go to settings page to adjust.
This is what it looks on main cdr page, change the number and it applies to unmodified cursor motion distance, and automatically halves/doubles if using with CTRL/SHIFT.
I may be ignorant of this option in LB, or if its not there can it be implemented ?
I do a lot of friction fit things with very tight fitting joints and have to nudge a lot. Going back and forth between LB and corel in this stage is a bit tedious. Especially after i setup layers and get ready to cut and find a mistake or need to do a quick adjust (which usually means a lot of slots need to be node edited to different distances)…
I don’t think you can change the nudge amount without going to settings, but you do have the ctrl / shift modifiers for your nudge arrows. Set the Ctrl-arrow number to something small enough to suit you.
@dvdlock this is not a kerf issue, i use kerf globally to make fits very tight, but if there is even a slight error in individual slots - things will not fit. Plus, on occasion i need to edit slot dimensions due to inconsistency of material i cut.
@Hank yes i’m aware of the setting in the LB options, but when i need to adjust multiple things at multiple distances it becomes tedious. In CDR i just change the number on top toolbar to my needs and use CTRL/SHIFT to half/double that distance.
Having a toolbar setting is a “quality of life” sort of thing, but absence of it in LB often forces me to go back to CDR to do adjustments.
