Move / Rotate / Scale
Put every part in its place.
Arrange a blockout, align a cutter or adjust the proportions of an assembly. Viewport gizmos and numeric Item properties give you direct control over the selected objects.

Transform directly in the viewport
Select an object and press W for Move, E for Rotate or R for Scale. Drag a gizmo handle to change the intended axis. The Item properties expose Position, Rotation and Scale for exact values. Frame the selection with F in object context when the object or gizmo is difficult to find.
Align parts and assemblies
The viewport toolbar provides axis constraints and snapping choices: Off, Pivot, Face and Face + Align. Choose the option that fits the placement task. Use the outliner to organize parts into a group; moving, rotating or scaling that group transforms its contents together.
Good to know
Do W, E and R work in every workspace?
These are the default transform shortcuts in object and shape contexts. Sketches and specialized tools can use different bindings. Check the viewport instructions and your configured shortcuts.
