Well this is an ignominious first post. Hello polycount!
I can't figure out how to use the direct input fields in the transform tool. If I try to translate the selected object to 1,2,5 the manipulator moves there instead of the object.

I'm using softimage XSI modtool 6.01. Any tips would be much appreciated!

    select object, type in the numbers under the transform tab on the right? I've never had any issues.

    If the manipulator is moving, you probably have 'center' selected under the components tab. Like ZacD says, select the object first, then use the transform fields.

    Entering a number will move the object in a 'absolute' position. Put a '+' before the number and you will move in a 'relative' position. You can also enter other things like multiplications and such.

    Okay, I'll keep an eye out for the center button. I probably pressed the relevant button and didn't notice it. Thanks for the reply!
