So I’ve been trying to get back my globe-ish looking rotate helper. It’s not hotkey X or =…
All i see is a cross on the grid with a circle cursor for free rotating without being able to snap or anything

Can someone pls help me?!

Thanks in advance

maybe the pivot point is far off ? can u use the rotate handles? is the object linked to something fishy that cant be rotated?

Oops - just saw your remedy - a few more notes then…

Good call, setting the software mode.

Also try to make sure that the hotkey has not been reassigned -

And try go to customise.. preferences .. gizmos.. transform gizmos.. on.

also make sure relative size is not 0%.. just tried it and no keyboard ‘x’ or ‘=’ will make it appear!

If that fails - post your ui file.
