Greetings, All; I've been lurking for a while in this forum and have been impressed with the level of support provided by RDS and Carrara users. I've had RDS for several years but my graphic design business keeps me very busily occupied. So much so that I never had time to work much with it (aside from the occasional newsletter quickie image). Anyway, I was able to upgrade to Carrara fairly inexpensively ($150) and did so last week. I like the interface (very Poser & Brycelike); but there is one thing that is really bugging me: In RDS I was able to use the arrow keys to nudge a selected object within the scene and the transformation menu. I can't seem to do this in Carrara, and the manual lacks any documentation regarding a Nudge ability. Is there a way to do this in Carrara or am I destined to forever fiddle with the numeric inputs in the properties menu? Cordially, Steve Merryman

Thanks, Cut; It's not the end of the world, and I agree that using the numeric inputs will be much more exact (that's how I position things in Illustrator everyday). In the meantime, it's great to be able to have several views at once, so it may very well make it easier to quickly position things once I understand the program a bit more... Now if I can only figure out the texture layers... Steve

Actually you can nudge if you are using Carrara 1.1. Once you activate the numerics with the cursor, if you depress "option" on the Mac and "alt" (i think) on the PC, little nudge arrows will appear that you can click with the mouse. Mark

Mark -- I've been struggling with nudging in RDS for, what, two years now? and you just made it so obvious. All I can say is "DUH!" and thank you!

Ummmm, isn't that what this forum's about? I'd be lying if I said I haven't had several "head slap" moments after reading others posts too! :) Mark

Well nudge me silly. Thanks Mark! I knew there had to be a way to nudge, and now my life is complete. This weather sucks huh?! I need some more sunshine, enough cloudy rainy weather here in Colorado, bring back the sun!!!! kaom
