Where is the 'delete post' button?
All searching online has resulted in the instructions to double-click a button to 'lock' an axis. But somehow, in some of my scenes, the three buttons are simply mapped to the three axes, LMR/XYZ; ei: no double-clicking required, and no locking of any sort. I have no idea how it happened, but I love it and I want to be sure I can turn it on again in my other scenes. Where is the toggle setting for this kind of control?
Thanks
Found the 'setting'; XSI loads with 'view' as the default manipulation mode. Naturally, I switch to global/local as I model and find the correct mouse button behavior.
