The Nudge options manage the arrow key actions.
Nudge keys
Arrow keys (use Alt+ arrow keys for view manipulation)
The arrow keys are used for the nudge keys.
Press PageUp and PageDn to nudge in the z axis direction.
Press Alt + Arrow key to rotate a view.
Alt+ Arrow keys
Nudge direction
Use CPlane axes
The nudge keys move the selected objects in relation to the construction plane axes in the active viewport.
Use world axes
The nudge keys move the selected objects in relation to the world axes.
Use view axes
Nudging moves the selection parallel to view plane.
Use UVN
Move surface/curve control points in relation to the local UVN frame. Objects still use CPlane axes.
Use Control Polygon
Move surface/curve control points along UV control polygons or the normal direction. Objects still use CPlane axes.
Nudge steps
Nudge feature lets you move selected objects or points by small increments.
Nudge key alone ___ <units>
Defines the nudge increment of unassisted nudge keys.
Ctrl + Nudge key ___ <units>
Defines the nudge increment when Ctrl is pressed with the nudge keys.
Shift + Nudge key ___ <units>
Defines the nudge increment when Shift is pressed with the nudge keys.
