When you are transforming an object, you can type coordinates directly in
the Coordinate Display fields. You can do this in two modes, Absolute or
Offset.
■
Absolute sets the exact coordinates of the object in world space.
■
Offset transforms the object relative to its existing coordinates.
Click the Absolute or Offset button to toggle between the modes:
While you are typing in the Coordinate Display fields (X,Y,Z), you can use
the Tab key to move from one coordinate field to another.
When you transform an object, the information shown by these fields depends
on the type of transform:
■ Move displays the offset XYZ coordinates based on the current coordinate
system. For example, if you're moving an object and you're constrained to
the X axis, only the X readout will change, displaying the offset of the
move along the local X axis.
■ Rotate displays the offset angle in degrees about the axis or axes the
rotation is performed around. This is dependent on both the axis coordinate
system, and the local/center toggle button.
■ Scale displays the offset XYZ scale in percentages.
You can get the absolute as well as offset information through the
Transform
Type-In dialog
on page 874 available from the Tools menu or by right-clicking
a transform button that has been selected on the toolbar.

The grid setting display shows the size of one grid square.
This value is constant in the active viewport. It does not change if you zoom
in very close or zoom out very far.
