CATIA: Using arrows move layers in drawing?

[rmneuman]

Hi -

New to the forum. I have been learning CATIA at my new position for about 4 months now. Often making Drawings. One things I have not learned to do is move views (also images, text boxes, etc.) using the keyboard arrows. This is a feature I was used to in SolidWorks and would really love to be able have again. I enjoy lining things up as perfectly as possible and only being able to use the mouse makes that difficult. Again this is just for Drawings.

Does anyone know how to do this? Keyboard command or a menu setting?

Arrow keys have different functions in CATIA Drafting. You can modify your grid settings and enable snap grid to position them precisely. Or you can also manually align views by Right click on view frame > View Positioning > Align Views Using Elements.

Hope that helps.
