Click and move on MacOS?

jim.maynardUKU2H — Mon, 29 Aug 2022 08:30:34 GMT

Having been using AutoCAD on windows for many years I live by the 'click and move' function when putting together schematics so I can use left click to select an object, then left click again and hold so the object is picked up and can be placed anywhere and put down again. Using a Logitech mouse on MacOS I'm unable to find any way to do this.

I have seen 4 year old posts saying this was not in the Mac version but surely in fours years this essential feature has been included. Please help?

Thank you.

Hi @jim.maynardUKU2H ,

This feature is still not included.

But why not use grip editing feature for this (Move option)?

~~You have two options for clicking and dragging on a MacBook: use the trackpad or wired or a wireless mouse. The process for either option is similar and follows these steps.~~

~~Click or tap to click and highlight the item you want to move.~~

~~A file highlighted from a folder on a MacBook.~~
~~Press and hold the trackpad or mouse while dragging the object.~~

~~A selected file from a folder in motion to a new location on a MacBook.~~
~~When you’re ready to reposition the highlighted item, release the trackpad or mouse to drop it in the new place.~~

~~An image file selected from a folder and dropped into a document on a MacBook.~~
~~Select text or images and drag them onto your desktop to create text clippings or save images.~~
