Hi guys, is there any way that we can make the viewport coordinate always selecting “World” by default for move, scale, and rotate?..because right now its always switch back to “View” whenever I close Max. I’m a Lightwave user so its default setting its kinda different with what I used to do..

Or if someone can share what they think/ prefer about coordinate method in Max after using Max for so many years, hope with that I can start to understand why Max put it that way.

Each of the 3 main tools (Move, Rotate, Scale) maintain their own, independant, coordinate system and transform center.

This can be overridden by going to Customise | Preferences | General (tab) | Constant (checkbox) in the Ref’ Coordinate System area. All 3 tools will then use the same coordinate system and transform center.

Remember where the option is so you can turn it off again when it becomes too annoying ;)

Thanks for the tips dude!..even if its not make the “World” coordinate system as the default whenever I launch Max, but I its really gonna speed things up.
