This command sets the software mode to interactive translate and displays the translate manipulator. [March 2007. This command replaces the C++ version although the C++ version is still included.]
Select Translate from the Modify option on the main menu or hit Q on your keyboard. The scale manipulator works on group, level-of-detail, and mesh nodes, as well as face-set, edge-set, and vertex-set selections.
Figures are as follows:

on X, Y, or Z. Dragging the central planes translates the
selection along XY, XZ, or YZ. Hold down CTRL to move the manipulator
without performing a translate operation.
