When I have a base attack bonus of +1 or higher，can I draw my weapon at the time of taking a 5-foot step？

I do not understand whether 5-foot step is a regular movement. .?

[Captain-Green]

Think of 5-foot movement like a free action.

But once you have done a 5-foot movement in a turn you won't be able to take any other form of movement action that turn.

Miscellaneous Actions

The following actions take a variable amount of time to accomplish or otherwise work differently than other actions.

Take 5-Foot Step

You can move 5 feet in any round when you don't perform any other kind of movement. Taking this 5-foot step never provokes an attack of opportunity. You can't take more than one 5-foot step in a round, and you can't take a 5-foot step in the same round that you move any distance.

You can take a 5-foot step before, during, or after your other actions in the round.

You can only take a 5-foot-step if your movement isn't hampered by difficult terrain or darkness. Any creature with a speed of 5 feet or less can't take a 5-foot step, since moving even 5 feet requires a move action for such a slow creature.

You may not take a 5-foot step using a form of movement for which you do not have a listed speed.

I think all the details you need are in Captain-Green's post, but to spell it out explicitly, the answer to the question:

"When I have a base attack bonus of +1 or higher，can I draw my weapon at the time of taking a 5-foot step"

Is no, the rule for drawing a weapon (or a shield) applies only to move actions, actually "regular" move actions, but I don't think that is actually defined anywhere.

If you have a base attack bonus of +1 or higher, you may draw a weapon as a free action combined with a regular move. If you have the Two-Weapon Fighting feat, you can draw two light or one-handed weapons in the time it would normally take you to draw one.

I've always run a "regular move" as using a move action to move up to your speed, although I think we've allowed exception for "standing up"

No. Regular movement uses an actual move action, not a 5 foot step.

[brock, no the other one...]

So 'a form of movement that consumes a move action'.
