Nudging representations and annotation

You can move, or nudge, cartographic features such as representations and annotations by a distance of 10 pixels. The nudge representation or annotation tools allow you to move features to the right, left, top, or bottom. Nudging a representation creates a shape override.

1. Start ArcMap.
2. If necessary, load data with representations or annotation into ArcMap.
3. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Production Cartography Editing.
4. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Production Editing.
