Move entities by keyboard

Home

In order to move selected entities more precisely, LiteCAD allows to control the movement by keyboard.
You can move, rotate, scale selected entities using the following keys:

Arrow keys - Move entities

PgUp, PgDown - Rotate entities

Home, End - Scale entities

Combination with Shift increases step 10 times

Combination with Ctrl decreases step 10 times

The steps can be defined in the dialog "Move entities by keyboard", which is called by command LC_CMD_KBMOVE :



In LiteCAD.exe this dialog is called by menu "Modify / Move by keyboard..."

The following Window properties are used to control parameters programmatically:

Property	Type	Access	Meaning
LC_PROP_WND_KBMOVE_ENABLE	bool	RW	Enable entities movement by keyboard
LC_PROP_WND_KBMOVE_DIST	float	RW	Distance step
LC_PROP_WND_KBMOVE_ANGLE	float	RW	Angle step
