I try to move/rotate a selection base on its direction. On previous blender I used to press 2 times the axis I wanted to change and it goes "local" orientation.

enter image description here

On 3.0 I can't figure out how to do it like on the image. I have tried to change the transformation orientation to gobal, local, etc. None of these options do the trick

If I do a new project, the problem is the same (notice the local transform info at the top left corner, proving I am in local transform). enter image description here

  • $\begingroup$ Hmm, maybe some setting is responsible for losing that double tap ability... $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ no, as you can see on the screenshot, it says "local", still the red line is along the x-axis line $\endgroup$

This still works - press an axis letter twice to change the transform orientation:

Keep in mind it alternates between local and world space, it doesn't automatically create a custom orientation based on the currently selected element:

You can create a custom orientation based on a selected face or edge

  • $\begingroup$ I am sorry, maybe something is off with my blender 3.0 but that doest work (I tried with a simple cube as a new object) the action on the top left tells me global then local when I press 2 time, but nothing change in the view and the movement is the same $\endgroup$
