This only works for Move and Scale; the Rotate tool has no such alignment capabilities. Generally when I'm working off-axis I will group the objects I am working on and freeze the transforms of the group, which will retain the transformation values of the children and allow local rotation to still work. I only freeze…
Yeah I dont think you can do this unless you go to the local rotation axis and manually set it. Might be able to orient constraint it with a locator. What i do is have a seprate button for freeze transform with scale, rotate and transform and one all in one
Well that's a bunch of horseshit. Didn't realize it didn't work on rotate. I suppose what you could do is to create a cube primitive and use the Snap Together Tool to snap the mesh to one side so it will be perfectly aligned along the axis. Then Freeze Transform and reposition it manually. It's not perfect, but it should…

Here you can see; But my question is how can i do this process without using a custom mel script? We are in Maya 2014 and i dont want to believe that maya doesnt contain a…
