Changing XYZ axis to show as local rather than global?

Sparkie Shock

Hi, Okay I deal with this problem once in a while and I usually just sigh and get on with it despite the ENORMOUS amount of ass it causes me.

I'm working on this pose and open using an injection pose you can see that the XYZ axis is not aligning to where the centre of the selected body part is .. in this case it's aligned exactly to the world facing with the flow of the floor tiles. But the head (selected) should then change that axis for me to make it easier to move the head side to side or whatever. It does not .. and I now NEED to know just how to change this.

 

Please let me know how I sort this out and get the axis to behave when selecting different body areas.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but in the Tool Settings pane, you can set the 2nd dropdown to "use local coordinates".

Perfect .. that was it. No idea how this got changed. Thanks
