Reported this one a long time ago,but still appears to be not fixed. Any idea if/when this can be fixed?.

I want to do many operations and keep working as I model but often the operations lock after a first one. Here is a good example. I scaled the object, now I want to move it.

Can you add scale to the move/rotate tool?. If I want to scale and then move-rotate. I must unselect all → undo (which sometimes doesn’t work) to regain my selection → then move/rotate works.

Hi @MarkL , we are aware of this issue, and we are considering improving this flow. I agree that it’s quite annoying in this case when you want to chain transform operations.
