Preventing inadvertent movement of features when selecting

The sticky move tolerance allows you to set a minimum number of pixels your pointer must move on the screen before a selected feature is actually moved. The effect of setting the sticky move tolerance is to delay moving selected features until the pointer has moved at least that distance. This can be a useful way to prevent features from being accidentally moved small distances when they are clicked with the Edit tool.

  1. Click the Editor menu and click Options.
  2. Click the General tab.
  3. Click inside the Sticky move tolerance box and type a new value (in pixels).
  4. Click OK.
