Figure 67. Move gizmo with planar constraint
A new context menu, available when you right-click on a gizmo axis or plane, enables you to change the
gizmo's behavior. You can set the constraint to a different axis or plane, switch between the 3D Move, 3D
Rotate, and 3D Scale gizmos, relocate the gizmo, and align it to the world UCS, current UCS, or an object face.
You can further customize the location and orientation of the gizmo by manually specifying its origin, direction of
the X-axis, and position of the XY plane.
Figure 68. Gizmo right-click menu
In addition to using the right-click menu option to switch gizmos, you can press the space bar to cycle between
them. If you want to change the gizmo that displays by default when you select an object, use the gizmo flyout
on the ribbon.

The powerful and intuitive 3D gizmos are not limited to whole objects; you can use them with subobjects as
well! For example, you can move, rotate, or scale the plane, edge, or vertex within an object. New subobject
selection filters help ensure that you get the type of object you expected when picking on a subobject. You can
access these filters from the Subobject panel on the Home tab of the ribbon or from the right-click menu when
no objects are selected.
