th_studio Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 Hi there. Not sure if someone else noticed it before. My nudge distance is set to 1 pixel but this doesn't work as it should do. I'm getting decimal values all the time which is very disappointing. Is this a bug or I'm the only person who is experiencing this? Looking forward to your opinion friends. Quote
firstdefence Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 Your object is probably located at a non-integer point i.e. X: 12.3 px so if you nudge it to the right it will now be 13.3 px Setting the object to an integer number i.e 12 px will nudge it to 13 px Nudge me.afphoto Quote iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

I've understood what you're talking about. But my object is located at an integer point. I always keep my eyes on the transform panel. Do you get accurate result when nudging an object? Quote

th_studio Posted December 9, 2019 Author Posted December 9, 2019 @Pšenda my unit is set to pixel. So there is no reason to get decimal value. PS: I'm an advanced used of Adobe Illustrator. And I'm always concerned about the settings Quote

GarryP Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 Can you try changing your number of decimal places for pixels to be more than 1, maybe 3 or 4 or more? It’s a setting in Preferences / User Interface. That might show what the problem is, or maybe not but it’s worth checking. th_studio 1 Quote
th_studio Posted December 9, 2019 Author Posted December 9, 2019 @GarryP thanks for your suggestion. Fortunately this worked! I set the value for the pixel to 0 and now nudge distance is working perfectly. Not sure why it is so complicated However, thanks a lot finding me a solution Quote

firstdefence Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 As Haakoo has said we think you have masked the problem not solved it, If you change the pixel value to 1 again does it nudge to 309.8? Also in Snapping Manager: View > Snapping Manager... there is a preset for Pixel Work.

Pšenda Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 1 hour ago, firstdefence said: there is a preset for Pixel Work. However, this should still move one pixel - not 0.8. 2 hours ago, GarryP said: or maybe not Even if the decimal part is hidden, it should be hidden even after the nudge. So increasing the number of visible decimal places should only specify - how much the nudge is wrong (!= 1px).

GarryP Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 I suggested increasing the number of decimal places so we could see what the exact numbers were (if possible), rather than them being rounded away by the UI. If we can see that the number is not an integer then the “Force Pixel Alignment” function might not be working properly (it seems to be active in the video). If we can see that the number is an integer then the Nudge function might not be working properly. Either way we would have more information about what is going on. Quote
firstdefence Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 I've tried all ways and it nudges by 1px when set to do so, integer number or not. Pšenda: Was just trying to eliminate snapping settings from interfering so the less you have the easier it would be to diagnose.

th_studio Posted December 9, 2019 Author Posted December 9, 2019 Thanks everyone for your comments. But all I want to say is this is too complex. I'm so disappointed This is not how nudge or keyboard increment works. Creating pixel perfect icon is a big challenge. I turned the Force Pixel Alignment option on and still it nudges to decimal points Quote
GarryP Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 Here’s an interesting little ‘feature’ (see attached GIF). Try this: * change the number of decimal places for Pixels to 4 or higher (so you can see what’s happening); * change the nudge value to 1.00003 (the UI rounds this to 1); * add a new layer and keep nudging it. The X/Y value is nudged by 1.00003 each time (not always noticeable) but the UI (in preferences) says it is nudging by 1. The nudge value in the preferences doesn’t always show you the exact value so this could be part of what’s happening, perhaps.@th_studio Can you try manually entering the value 1 into the nudge field and see if anything starts working? th_studio 1 Quote
th_studio Posted December 9, 2019 Author Posted December 9, 2019 @GarryP thanks a lot for all your effort. I've just found the solution (hopefully). I once set the nudge distance to point (unit) and then set it back to pixel. Now everything is working perfectly. It's moves one pixel each time I hit the keyboard arrow. Please give this a try and let me know if you have the same result Quote
walt.farrell Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 Also, make sure you have Move by Whole Pixels in the Snapping options set off. If it's on, and you have something misaligned, it will remain misaligned when you nudge it. If it's off, and you have something misaligned, it will snap to a whole pixel when you nudge it.
