      I read that the arrow keys are used to lock on to axis directions, but this almost never works for me? Any ideas?

        Draw a cube

        Triple Clicks on a face for select it

        Press M(ove)

        Click a corner of this cube

        = the cube goes anywhere! 🤓

        Now Press Up Arrow = the cube goes only Up Down ! 💭

        And you are not obliged to have the mouse on the Cube / corner for move it !!! 🤓

          Nice! But my problem is drawing an arc. After I click a point I can´t for the love of my life control the axis I want it to follow.

            It doesn't work in every situation.

            Have you ever tried Tape Measure tool for that? Create a guide first and draw along it...
