I'm having an issue in the mod tool with the numeric entry under the transform panel. I'm new to xsi so it could just be something I'm doing wrong, but I thought I'd see if anyone else here has run into this or knows where I'm going wrong.

Initially the problem I was having was that I couldn't translate object components using the numeric input. I type a number in, press enter, and then it just goes back to the previous value. If I use the manipulator and drag with the mouse in the viewport the value changes, but it doesn't move my points. I also noticed that it would add a "center" node to my model in the explorer. It seems to be doing math on the numbers I enter into the fields (ie. I would type 6 in a field that was set to -4 and it would change it to 2)

I played with it for a while and figured out that the numeric entry behaved differently if I set the interface to xsi default mode. It worked as I expected it to, and continued to work properly after I switched back to modtool mode.

If I start xsi in default mode it works fine when I switch it to mod tool mode. It just behaves differently when I start it in mod tool mode.

Any ideas as to what's going on here?

I'm still experiencing this. Is this a bug or operator error?

We have tried to reproduce this internally, and to be honest, we have no clue what's going on on your side. (still looking though).

I know this won't help you recreate the problem, but I just wanted to let you XSI folks know that I have the same problem.  And thank you, the mode switching fix works for me (I am also a newbie and thought I was entering things the wrong way at first).

I have also noticed this, but i thougt I did something wrong so I just moved it manually.

Thanks for the tip, I was having a similar problem.  My problem was that typing in values would transform the center of the model (and the axis) but not the model itself.  So if I type in a translation, then perform a rotation using the UI, I'd get an offcenter rotation.  Doing the mode switch fixes this.
