AltCtrl and drag moves the axis but I dont know a way to set rotation. I agree
though that would be useful.

Subject: Re: [Nuke-users] Re: Freeze transformation in nuke
I think a peter way to do what i want was the option to rotate the pivot of my
axis.
But as far as i know u can only move the pivot ( which usually moves your
geometry ) or skewing it... which is the weirdest thing ever :]
is there a way to rotate your axis without effecting the geo ?

rarely do transforms in the actual geo transform knobs. As

won't have problems with things rotating around 0,0,0.
