dX/dY by form entry

Will Tang
Will Tang over 7 years ago

Dear all,

I have a habit to move/copy shape to a distance by entering number in dX/dY field in the tool bar, with the help of pressing "Tab" button a few times.

I think it is not efficient enough.

Is there any other ways to do this?

e.g. invoke a form to set dX/dY value.

Any comment is much appreciated.

Thank you very much

Will

    Hi Will,

    another way how you could do it: If you copy or move a shape use hiToggleEnterForm() (in my setup i bound this skill function to F3) a form will pop up in which you can enter dX and dY.

    Regards,

    Matthias
