Hello there,

Long-term Illustrator here, wondering if anyone can help...

I'm working in Pixels and have my increment set on, using the Cursor keys if I use SHIFT + Direction I move in 10 Pixels, but is there a way to do the opposite and move in 0.1 Pixels?

thanks

Kie

Does not matter, any X Y field (and most other numeric fields).

You can hold down the Cmd key (or Ctrl key on Win) when the cursor is in an X or Y field and use the Up/Down arrow keys to increment 0,1 px

thanks, which X and Y Field? in the Transform? or Properties Panel?

No shortcut, but you can set a smaller number in the new Properties panel when nothing is selected. Or in Preferences.

Ok thanks, I thought that was the case, I'll try using the properties panel, I never bother with that normally
