Moving objects with arrow keys not working

p_stanislawiak — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 13:44:34 GMT

Hi,

I know this topic has already been discussed on the forum, but unfortunately, the tips shared there haven’t helped in my case. The problem is that I am completely unable to move objects using the arrow keys. I’m using Autodesk Fusion Personal on a MacBook with macOS, and I follow all the instructions—select the object, enter the move mode, press the arrow keys—but nothing happens. I have never been able to get this to work; it has never functioned for me.

Could someone please help me with this? I’m managing by moving everything with the mouse, but there are situations where it becomes quite frustrating. I really can’t understand why it doesn’t work. Any support would be greatly appreciated.

I’m attaching a video that demonstrates the issue I’m experiencing. Hopefully, it provides more clarity about the problem.

Looking forward to your support.

Best regards

1-to my knowledge, using the arrow keys for move has never been supported.

2-using move for positioning the way you are doing is common in poly modelers. it's really bad practice in parametric modelers.

3-leaving the yellow errors in your timeline instead of fixing them as they occur is going to eventually bite you in the posterior.
