Move with precision (dialog box with numerical entry)


Recommended Posts

Is there an equivalent (or workaround, or alternative way of doing) to the Object -> Transform -> Move dialog box found in Adobe Illustrator? Sometimes I want to move an object by an exact distance to work on it then being able to move it back to its original location is important. I was wondering if there is a similar method in Affinity Designer.

There is the transform panel. by default it is in the lower right.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 
Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Hey Bruce, thanks for the quick answer. I know how the Transform panel works. What I like about Illustrator however is the ability to quickly bring up a dialog box by just pressing Enter and typing in the X or Y distance, that way I don't have to move the mouse and click in the Transform panel's fields — especially if I moved or hid the panel entirely for some reason. Guess I'm just faster with keyboards 🤷‍♂️
