I'm going crazy!!
See the 2 attached images.
I must animate an object in local mode like on a path, but not creating a path for it but moving and rotating it in local mode.
But when I modify the local animation curves my object moved in global or add mode. Why?

Please help me!

This is because transformation modes do not control what kind of keyframing is applied. They are only for transforming your object via a particular reference frame, such as global to the scene origin or relative to your view.

When setting keyframes on an object, the values that are stored are the object's transformation space relative to its parent. For rotation that's additive mode. For translation it's parent mode.

It's for this same reason that if you mark only a single axis, all 3 axes are keyframed in all other modes except for the two mentioned above.

All of this is documented in the XSI Fundamentals Guide.

Thanx Whitanar for your explication.
It's obvious, but I've understand it only an hour after my post.:shrug:
