3DSCALE command automatically when the MOVE, ROTATE, or SCALE
command is started in a 3D view. This system variable is turned off by
default.
■ Active status of subobject grips. If you select a
subobject on page 1030, the
GRIPSUBOBJMODE system variable sets whether the subobject grips are
active immediately. Setting subobject grips to be active upon selection
helps you modify groups of mesh subobjects without selecting them again.
Quick Reference
Commands
3DMOVE
In a 3D view, displays the 3D Move gizmo to aid in moving 3D objects a
specified distance in a specified direction.
3DROTATE
In a 3D view, displays the 3D Rotate gizmo to aid in revolving 3D objects
around a base point.
3DSCALE
In a 3D view, displays the 3D Scale gizmo to aid in resizing 3D objects.
System Variables
DEFAULTGIZMO
Sets the 3D Move, 3D Rotate, or 3D Scale gizmo as the default during
subobject selection.
GRIPSUBOBJMODE
Controls whether grips are automatically made hot when subobjects are
selected.
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.
