direct selection - move the anchor points with the arrow keys of the keyboard

Hello

I use Illustrator CC.  I just use the image tracking tool to create a version vector of my company logo.  It worked pretty well, but now I'm just trying to clean it up a bit.  I have a few anchor points that I want to just push upwards or downwards into the smallest possible increment.

I think it would be easier for me to do using the arrow keys on the keyboard instead of the mouse, but the arrows cause my selected anchor point to jump in too large a distance way.  I checked to make sure that the bearings commented, snap to grid and snap to Point are all extinct.  I don't see anything else to do.

Can someone tell me which control how the keyboard arrow keys will move an anchor point, and how can I fix this to the smallest possible distance?

Thanks in advance,
Paul

General Prefs, area keyboard Increments. Have something you need.

Then use Nudge (up, down, left, right arrow).

  • Navigation in both sense between the anchor points with "prev" and "next buttons?"

    Hi all

    I'm working on a horizontal presentation site that has anchors on each part. That the user scroll, he snaps to each anchor point. It works fine with just the mouse wheel, but I wish I had previous buttons and following which allow easy navigation between points. I know I can have buttons to jump to say on each article has > B > C and then C > B >, but it's a simple "prev" and "next" buttons that are pinned to the page as a whole. Then, as the page scrolls from left to right, the buttons remain in place. Is it possible to have them just go to previous and next in the line, rather than linking a button to anchor point A, B, C, etc.?

  • How to make the handles visible direct selection on the pasteboard?

    When I go to for transformation/resize images within frames using direct Selection, I don't see the handles of the image because they are white against a white cardboard.  I use InDesign CS5 (ver 7.0.4) on a Mac. I've been using InDesign for a few years and never noticed that it was a problem; all of a sudden, the handles seem invisble. I don't remember what the color scheme was before. (Maybe I'll lose my mind). The colors did not alter an update? There is an option in the preferences to choose the color of the pasteboard, but this does not seem to have any effect. In the meantime, I can't find the handles to resize/convert images. I can enter a percentage to scale, but it is sometimes useful. How to make the handles visible direct selection on the pasteboard?

    If you're talking about the color of a path and its handles, which is dependent on the color of the layer selection. Go to the layers panel. Double-click the currently selected schema and change the selection to something darker color.

  • Direct selection or the powered hand tool will not move object with the mouse! Frustrated!

    Since this recent update, I was not using my mouse to move an image, text, etc. I use CC2014 on my Mac, not working not Yosemite.

    I have already tried:

    Clicking on some keys when opening Indesign so it will clear preferences - did not work.

    Restarted my computer - will run for a few minutes then stops

    InDesign uninstalled and reinstalled - nothing

    Uninstalled full CC suite and ran CC cleaner - removed all instances of the Adobe folder on my mac, removed trash, restarted the computer, and reinstalled - there is nothing, same problem.

    I am really frustrated because I really don't want to use my arrow keys to move the items. All the solutions to get rid of this annoying problem?

    Thank you in advance!

  • How can I move two anchor points overlapping of distinct objects at the same time?

    Please refer to the picture for clarification:Capture.JPG

    Pink and blue objects in the image are distinct forms that have the same number of vertices/inkings. The forms have been generated with ArcGIS and exported to a. File to HAVE it. I need to move the anchor points of these two forms, so that they create a trail that follows the outline of the layer of the topography, but it seems that I can only move the anchor of a shape at the same time. Is there a way to pass the two anchors both (anchors that overlap, one of each shape)?

    I should also add and subtract some of the anchor so while making it so each anchor is not a 'corner '.

    I want to essentially merge or merge the anchor points of the two forms while maintaining the two colors, so that they share a border.

    Any help will be a life saver! I can try to clarify if it is not supposed. Thanks in advance!

    Jake,

    You can click on selection of object through only in preferences, then after the first deselect all ClickDrag (click outside paths) with the tool directly on each game Selection and then ClickDrag to move (you can simply go to set).

  • See bug handles (and confiscation) with the direct Selection of the 5.5 tool?

    Install previous Illy (including 5.5), clicking on a path with the direct Selection "chose" tool this path or shape and showed all the anchors and handles, so I could catch. Now, when I click on a path or shape with direct selection, I get nothing. If I know where is an anchor, I can enter directly (with a guess) and move it - which shows me its handles, but I can't catch them.

    I've never had this problem before. Is there some preference that I need to put? I have a bad installation? Does anyone else have this problem?

    Thank you

  • Vector glitch of anchor points with the transformation of the cs6 illustrator objects

    Vector anchor points glitch during the transformation of objects,

    It is if I create a square and turn it, let's say I have it increase by 200%, it creates additional anchor points in the square corners and also creates weird crenellated edges, when I hover over the square with the slider to show the edges, the line from the edge which shows blue is shifted in at the edge of the actual object reference (see attached img the orange object displays the quirky plan and the black object is supposed to be a) round square edged, but after that I turned (Shear 10 degrees) it apeared of curves in stairs)

    I already tried to launch updates and restart, but the issue continues to display.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello

    need to review my earlier statement somewhat. I confused with link anchor. So assuming this is what you want

    -create the link regarding the anchor on the page

    Then

    create a goLink with the destination, the value of the pageURL #anchor

    To create the anchor point, use am af:outputText or output text in shape and his escape set to false. Then add the as its value. I have try, but think that might work

  • When I try to choose an AutoComplete drop-down with an arrow key, Firefox scrolls the page

    When I'm in a page Web, YouTube, for example, and I type, AutoComplete options appear under the text field. When I try to select one of the following options with the arrow down on my keyboard, it scrolls the entire page and do not select one of the options of AutoComplete in the field.

    I have already activated and deactivated the scrolling and automatic scrolling to see if it solves the problem, but this is not smooth. I use Firefox Beta. I can't go back to the last version of Firefox because that would not allow my mouse to scroll.

    Thanks for any help you may have!

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance/themes).

  • How to open a link text selected from the keyboard

    I would like to be able to search for text on a screen and then open the link that it connects to. The problem is that I want to do this via the keyboard, i.e. without moving the mouse. It seems that there should be a way to do this. I tried every combination of < meta-key > + back and all combinations of < meta-key > + down arrow I can think, because this seems like a natural place to hide such a shortcut, but nothing helps. Someone knows how to do this?
