Is there a way of resetting xyz axis for a figure.

Sometimes I get in a bind where. Translation and rotation of the character is on the diagonals. In other words when I want to translate up, instead of going straight up. The figure moves up at a 45degree angle (example only). Is there a way that you can reset these axis with out changing the pose of the character?

If you are using the viewport controls try going to the Tool Settings pane and use the options at the top of the pane to change the coordinates used. Alternatively parent the item to a null (Create>New null) and use that to move it around.

Thanks! Creating the null and parenting is a nice solution because you can always unparent
And have the original axis's available... Thanks!
