Regulate moving object horizontally/vertically/diagonally

[Troy_Daniel]

I'm wondering if, in PXE, is it able to move objects (annotations/contents) horizontally/vertically/diagonally only with mouse.

The desired behaviour is the same like we can do in microsoft office: After selecting object(s), move the object(s) with Shift pressed, the objects can move in horizontal/vertical direction only.

Hello Troy_Daniel,

When you are drawing a new say line annotation you can hold down the Shift key so that you draw it at a predefined angle. However when moving - you will either need to use the arrow keys for horizontal/vertical movement, or you can use the Selection -> Transform selection - to directly position your selected object(s) to their new desired coordinates.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hope to add this feature in the furture.

Hello Troy_Daniel,

I will pass it along for consideration, however I can not make any promises at this point in time!

p.s. Just hear back from our devs that they are indeed planning such a feature. They didn't tell me a specific time frame though - so it could be a while!

Kind regards,
Stefan
