Nudging should not move locked items

Hi ​@Bryce Leedham,

Thanks for this idea and for sharing your great feedback here! This is a known pain point our team is actively working on. Improving nudging behavior with locked shapes is on the roadmap, and the team has been iterating on nudging improvements over the past few months. A toggle to disable auto-nudging is also in the works, which would give you more control over this behavior altogether.

In the meantime, the best workaround is to make sure locked items are excluded from your selection before nudging — though we know that's not ideal when you're working on complex diagrams. I passed along your feedback to our development and product teams and we appreciate you taking the time to report this.

We encourage anyone else who’s interested in this to upvote this post and share any additional details about your use case or what you’d like to see in this experience. For more information about how we manage feedback in this community, please take a look at this post:

This impacts items that are not selected as well though, should the shape being nudged get close to them, they get nudged away as well.

Hi ​@Bryce Leedham,

I have good news! Our product team is actively working on updating nudging behavior so that locked items remain fixed in place.

We are aiming to roll out this functionality within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Thank you for raising this feature request, and stay tuned for the update soon!
