NUDGE command

[Anonymous]

OK, I admit it. I haven't tried very hard to make this work. I have tried,
but one component is making it difficult for me, a novice lisp
writer/architectural drawing fool.

What I'm looking for is a freebie:

I used to use a mac & a program called "powercad". It had a command called
"nudge" which allowed you to preselect objects, then hit the 4 arrow keys to
move the selection set on the orthogonal axes.

the nudge amount is a preset (but variable) amount - and it's an incredibly
useful tool.

is there an acad friendly equivalent out there?

thanks for reading this far.

You can use (setenv) and (getenv) in R14 to write/read to the registry.

That's true; it writes the key/value to the FixedProfile\General key.

I forgot about that, thanks.

General FYI...

You can also organize values in subfolders of the FixedProfile\General key
using the following syntax:

(setenv (strcat "MyAppName\\" key) val)
and
(getenv (strcat "MyAppName\\" key))

as in the following utility functions:

(defun app:getenv (app key / ) (getenv (strcat app "\\" key)))
(defun app:setenv (app key val / ) (setenv (strcat app "\\" key) val))

How to AutoCAD nudge (2017 edition)

1. Select line or block you wish to nudge.
2. Hold ctrl+ and arrow key
3. You are now nudging.

I need help;
my osnap setting got flipped around and set to my cad default to the grid snap, I was able to change my setting back to polar snapping but now my nudge is stuck on grid snapping and I have no idea how to turn it back to polar. If any one finds out how get the normal nudge back please tell me, I miss being able to nudge by my zoom and not this useless grid-snap-nudge.
