Translate handle.

How can I change the translate handle according to the orientation of the object.  
I am a maya user…in that one has an option for world orientation and object orientation…is there any way I get the orientation of the object in its rotated position?

Hello,

You can simply just grab the translate handle with the pencil and move it around. If you choose the Move/Rotate tool, there will be an Auto-Orientation switch. With that switch, Shapr3D can be told if the handle should be aligned to the snapped object or not.
