Is there an easy way to restrict the movement of a feature to only one axis when moving it manually in ArcGIS Pro (ie via Edit --> Tools --> Move)? In PowerPoint, for example, holding down the shift key while you're moving a textbox/shape/image/etc restricts the movement so that the feature will only move either up/down (with no movement along the x axis) or left/right (with no movement along the y axis). I know there are ways to do this which involve specifying a certain distance and direction to move the feature, but a simple way to do the same thing (akin to the PowerPoint functionality) would be really useful.
Solved! Go to Solution.
You can do this easily enough with the editing grid turned on:

Other ideas:
Align or Distribute https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/align-or-distribute-features.htm
Move To using the Delta method: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/move-a-feature-to-specified-location.htm
