Is there a way, using the new MAX 5 scaling gizmo, to scale along 2 axes evenly? Basically, the same way the old MAX 4 gizmo worked when you used the 2 axis handles. Now, it scales along both axis unevenly depending on which way you move the mouse. The only way I've been able to scale evenly is by watching the type-in numbers, which is a big pain and quite difficult.

Thanks-

surely it must have a run down on how to use the new manipulators in the manual?

try customize/preference/gizmo/ uniform scale or something like that. this is on one of those PDFs off that resellers webpage.

That's the ticket... works like a charm. I really wish there was a toggle, such as holding down ctrl to constrain both axis equally. I'd really like to try the free-form functionality of this new gizmo... but for now, it's locked on 2 axis constraint.

Thanks for the help!
