Lock a manipulator to the current selection

You can set manipulation to a selected object so that clicking near the object manipulates it, instead of directly selecting it.

1. Select the object(s).
2. Select the Move, Rotate, Scale, or Show Manipulator Tool.
3. Click the Lock current selection icon in the Status Line (toolbar).

   While the lock icon is on, you cannot select other objects using this tool. Clicking or dragging the left mouse button operates the active manipulator handle (like the middle mouse button does normally).

   Click the Lock current selection icon again to unlock the manipulator.
