GTAUTO
Controls whether 3D gizmos are automatically displayed when you select
objects before you start a command in a viewport with a 3D visual style.
GTDEFAULT
Controls whether the 3D Move, 3D Rotate, or 3D Scale operation starts
automatically when you start the MOVE, ROTATE, or SCALE command in
a viewport with a 3D visual style.
GTLOCATION
Controls the initial location of the 3D Move, 3D Rotate, or 3D Scale gizmo
when you select objects before you start a command in a viewport with a
3D visual style.
Use the Gizmos
Gizmos help move, rotate, and scale 3D objects and subobjects.
Display the Gizmos
Gizmos are available only in 3D views that are set to use a 3D visual style such
as Hidden. You can set the gizmo to be displayed automatically when you
select a 3D object or subobject. Gizmos are also displayed during the 3DMOVE,
3DROTATE, and 3DSCALE commands.
If the visual style is set to 2D Wireframe, entering 3DMOVE, 3DROTATE, or
3DSCALE automatically converts the visual style to 3D Wireframe.
By default, the gizmo is initially placed in the center of the selection set.
However, you can relocate it anywhere in 3D space. The center box (or base
grip) of the gizmo sets the base point for the modification. This behavior is
equivalent to temporarily changing the position of the UCS as you move or
rotate the selected objects. The axis handles on the gizmo constrain the
movement or rotation to an axis or plane.
