I’m have files open from different projects from different clients with wildly different nudging requirements, and when I jump from one file to another whatever I set in the last file is immediately applied to all instances and I have to change them again every. Time.
Hmm, interesting idea, how are you going to know what nudge settings have been set for a particular file?
Details, details!
Well as per the other thread today concerning mesh settings, it might be useful to create a set of buttons/aliases to set the desired collection of nudge settings with one click…
Oh I have aliases for setting the nudge settings, it’s just the annoyance that they would seem to be better attached to the file than to “Rhino.”

If those ‘buttons’ were more like radio buttons, so that there was a visual indicator of what ‘gear’ you’ve selected, that would be really useful…

Might’ve missed that one but in case it was not mentioned, V8/WIP has retrievable mesh settings…

Ok, thanks for that… In my case a set of toolbar buttons will still be faster than drilling down into DocProperties though.
I have same wish: I work with different document properties, some in Meters, some in Millimeters, and its a nuisance to have to change the Nudge step setting in general Rhino preferences every time I open up a new document.
Is there a way to attach the nudge settings to the document?
Or as @Helvetosaur suggest: create a set of toolbar buttons with different preferred Nudge-step settings ?
What is an alias? How do I make the aliases for that?
Thanks
No, there is not - they remain general options.
Here is a general macro for setting Nudge options:
NoEcho ! _-Options
_ModelingAids _Nudge
_AltPlusArrows=_No
_Direction=_CPlane
_Step=0.1
_ShiftStep=1.0
_ControlStep=0.01
_EnterEnd
You can change the various options/values as you like to create different toolbar buttons.
https://docs.mcneel.com/rhino/7/help/en-us/index.htm#options/aliases.htm?Highlight=alias
To create an alias, go into Options>Aliases , hit the “New” button, put the shortcut (alias) on the left hand side and the macro or script on the right hand side.
wow thankyou 
(I love Rhino 
)
i have the feeling i saw a discussion or a few words quite a long time ago about making nudge screen/zoom related and not via fixed distance settings according to the set model units, maybe i am dreaming that up but i think it would be a good solution for many of the nudge needs, make that a toggle between regular and proportional.
