Note: The arrow keys do not work when you move objects in perpendicular.
Use the keyboard shortcut, Alt+drag (Windows) or Option+drag (Mac OS) to copy the object. To constrain the
movement in perspective, press Shift+drag. To specify a precise location where you need to move the object during
perpendicular movement, see
Precise perpendicular movement
.
You can also use the Transform Again command (Object > Transform > Transform Again) or the keyboard shortcut
Ctrl+D (Windows) or Cmd+D (Mac OS) to move objects in perspective. This option also works when you move object
in perpendicular direction.
Note: The keyboard shortcut 5 for perpendicular movement and the keyboard shortcuts 1,2, and 3 for plane switching while
drawing or moving objects, work only from the main keyboard and not from the extended numeric keypad.
