I have been amazed many times by the way the Move command works. What I mean is that Move always requires that one defines the starting point, even for points (!). Shouldn’t moving a point assume that the starting point is… well, the point itself? I think so. I think the Move command should have a…

Rolf- if you find what you describe with Move command more useful, simple macro or script can get you there. I definitely prefer the command as-is for precision and would not try to fix what’s not broken… j

[image] Jarek: for precision Keeping as is for precision is not a valid argument against an alternative that would always give 100% accuracy (using TAB). Problem is of course that picking with the mouse IS inherently lesser precision compared to alternative ways (like suggested above). The l…

[image] RIL: Problem is of course that picking with the mouse IS inherently lesser precision compared to alternative ways (like suggested above). The lesser precision you get with mouse clicks is common wisdom taught as a basic truth in UI design. And they go on to explain that the extra effort …

[image] Jarek: I get 100% accuracy, fast, Now you don’t address the alternative. It’s only a comparison that makes sense when presenting or questioning a suggested alternative (or addition). This means that simply stating : “fast”, doesn’t say very much if not putting it in relation to som…

Can you explain what you mean by “snap dragging”? Are you using the gumball? Dennis

Try the first experimental version here. It covers the basic idea, but not all the features as of yet. [image] Mouse-over point OR the Object - why not both? Scripting SMOVE First of all, thank you all for your advice and code snippets, it really helps. This is an amazing…

[image] dmoyes: Can you explain what you mean by “snap dragging”? Are you using the gumball? No. No gumball necessary. Just have object snaps enabled, then select an object, go towards the end or near the spot you want and press and hold the left mouse button. After a tiny delay, the object…

Aha, I’ve never seen this behavior before! That’s very useful. I guess this behavior applies only for one object? // Rolf
