How Do You Drag Things in Figma?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 10:43 pm

There are a few different ways that you can drag things around in Figma. The first way is to simply click and hold on an object, then move your mouse to where you want to place the object. You can also use the arrow keys on your keyboard to nudge an object around.

If you want to move an object more precisely, you can use the Selection tool. First, select the object or objects that you want to move.

Then, click on one of the handles and drag the object to where you want it. You can also use the arrow keys to nudge the selected object around.

If you want to move an object even more precisely, you can use the Transform tool.

Then, click and hold on one of the handles and drag the object to where you want it. You can also use the arrow keys or enter specific values in the X and Y fields to move the selected object around.

PRO TIP: If you are working on a design in Figma and need to move an object, you may be tempted to just click and drag it. However, this can cause problems with your design. If you click and drag an object, it will be moved in that direction, but the object will also be resized. This can cause problems with your design if you’re not careful. To avoid this, use the arrow keys to move objects instead of clicking and dragging them.

Conclusion

If you want to move an object even more precisely, you can use the Transform tool. You can also use the arrow keys or enter specific values in the X and Y fields

to move the selected object around.
