Posted · Feature Request: Arrow keys to move objects

Would like an option to be able to move objects around using the arrow keys. Left/right to move X axis, up/down to move Y axis, and something like shift+up/down for Z axis.

 

Very useful for fine tune adjustments of lining up parts, especially when zoomed in. Currently quite annoying to either have to zoom out, find the drag arrows, and inaccurately drag the mouse around, or repeatedly type in values manually.

 

Surprised it's not that by default to be honest, seems way more useful than camera controls.

    I second this. This would be an incredibly useful feature when placing and lining up multiple, dozens of parts. Especially washers for nuts and bolts. Thanks for all you guys do and for making the world a better place. <3

    Better stated. More from the heart.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
