Title: How to constrain movement to horizontal/vertical
Post by: kelly_sumrall on May 31, 2012, 04:46:10 am

Is there a way to constrain element movement by mouse to horizontal or vertical. I know I can shift + arrow, but that is painfully slow.

Try to shift-click and then move.

Another option if you're trying to make space for more without disturbing layout is to hold alt and drag in the direction you want to move.

What this does is pick up all elements from the original mouse point in the direction moved. Once started movement is restricted to the axis originally moved.

shift-click is what I was looking for.

Thanks for the replies.
