The Translate, Rotate, and Scale tools have no Console prompts or ‘creation phase’ so the Tool panel is immediately active. Like all basic transform tools, we can either enter exact values in the Tool Panel or simply click-and-drag in the workspace to interactively perform the action.
The input boxes for the Translate, Rotate, and Scale tools will accept numeric input at any time until the action is closed.
This means that you can ‘preview’ the effects of the value you entered and still enter another value to replace the previous one. These values are not cumulative, so entering a value of -3 and then a value of -1 will not equal -4.
