The Edit Form tool

The Edit Form tool is one of the main tools that you will be using within the FORM environment since it can do a variety of things, such as scale, move, and rotate, all within the same tool. Here is a list that displays the different tools we will use:

1. Edit Form tool location
2. Edit Form tool window
3. Set Pivot
4. Scale in all directions
5. Scale along axis
6. Move along axis
7. Move along plane
8. Rotate handles
