Hi All,

 

just something again came to my mind which allows to work quicker :wink:

first of all I don't want to use those blue grips for moving my objects.

here is my question:

Is there any way for moving things several times with using Move command just once?

At the moment I use Move 2-3 times for putting objects in the correct position:cry:

 

Cheers

I have my right mouse button set to 'Repeat last command', then I just press P (previous) on the keyboard.

Here is a good little tip I found:

In AutoCAD is it possible to move an object or multiple objects in both the X & Y without having to reselect?

 

Solution: Many people do not realise you can do this with the “from” tool which has been in AutoCAD for some time. In the example we are trying to position a hole with centrelines onto a clamp, we are referencing the movement from the corner of the clamp and moving in a positive value in the X (+25mm) and a negative value in the Y (-10mm). Select the move tool, select the objects to be move, press enter to confirm selection, select base point (remember to consider where you will be referencing from). To enable the from tool press SHIFT+ rightclick to bring up the isolation snaps and select from, select the point from where you wish to reference your movement. If Dynamic input is activated enter your X value (25) then press comma (,) to enter your Y value (-10) the stairs is then placed in the position required.

 

NOTE: If you are not using Dynamic Input you will need to enter @25, -10 on the command bar.

That was nice!

 

I'm crazy about these tips.

 

Thanks
