Use the combined Move/Rotate/Scale manipulator

The combined Move/Rotate/Scale Tool shows the move, rotate, and scale handles all in one manipulator. You may find it easier to use than the individual tools when you’re performing a lot of move, rotate, and scale operations on an object to get it into position.

You can also move, rotate, and scale with one manipulator using the Universal Manipulator.

To use the combined Move/Rotate/Scale Tool

  1. Select Modify > Transformation Tools > Move/Rotate/Scale Tool.

This manipulator combines the handles from the Move, Rotate and scale tools in one. The Move/Rotate/Scale Tool and Proportional Modification Tool use this manipulator.

When a move or scale handle is active, the axis rotation rings are hidden. Click the outer ring rotation ring to show all rotation handles.

Note: Some tools add another handle projecting from the center of the manipulator. Clicking this handle switches the manipulator axes between world and local space.
