The Transform tool combines move, rotate and scale into a single tool. By using the various handles the user can quickly position, rotate and scale from one convenient tool. By default the tool uses the "Select Through" mode via the ToolPipe settings so that you can also change selections without dropping the tool. It should be noted that using Select Through replaces the ability to "Haul" the tool. The Transform Tool has several options. Holding the CTRL key when activating the tool will activate the Item selection state so that the tool directly transforms the current item rather than performing component level edits.
The Translate, Rotate and Scale check boxes allow certain aspects of the tool to be disabled. When the check box is deactivated the corresponding handles will disappear from the tool in the 3D viewport.
The Position, Rotation and Scale Offset values allow direct numeric control over each of the tools settings including direct input of simple equations and distance units such as cm, ft, m etc.
The Haul popup control is only useful when the Select Through setting is deactivated via the Tool Pipe. When Select Through is off, clicking and dragging in the 3D viewport can adjust one of the three components of the transform tool according to the workplane's orientation. By default the tool is set to Haul Translate which allows the tool to behave like the Move tool when dragging in the 3D viewport. When hauling a tool only 2 axes can be modified simultaneously. The edited axes combo is determined by the current orientation of the workplane.
