Nudge moves selected objects by small increments on the canvas, enabling you to place the objects on your diagram exactly where you want them. This feature helps you to make your output diagrams look really professional.
You can "nudge" the lines or shapes on your diagram by the grid snap value (set on the diagram tab, under Tools > Options), or by pixel. In the first instance the shape will move in the selected direction by the value this diagram has its Grid Snap set to, and in the second instance the shape will move in the selected direction by exactly one pixel.
The following images show a shape being nudged upwards by one grid snap value (in this case the grid snap value has been set to 16mm).
