Click and move on MacOS?

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.

A text clipping on a Mac desktop created from highlighted text.
To move items in the Dock, click and drag the apps to your preferred arrangement.

Using drag and drop to arrange apps in the Dock on a Mac.
To move a recently used app to the Dock, click the app and drag it into position.

Add a folder to Favorites in the Finder app by selecting and dragging the item. To add an app, press Command.

Dragging and dropping a folder in the Finder sidebar Favorites section on a Mac.
Remove items from Favorites in Finder or the Dock by selecting and dragging them away from the area.

 

This may help you,
