Transform an object relatively

Relative transformations in Blend for Visual Studio 2012 enable you to transform objects relative to the current state of the object, and apply the same transformation repeatedly. For example, after you set an initial transform value (for example, a rotation angle of 15 degrees), you could animate the object by repeatedly moving the timeline playhead JJ170769.5626c9eb-40bb-450a-9ca1-3678e5abe429(fr-fr,VS.110).png and clicking the Apply button in the Transform category of the Properties panel to set a keyframe. When the animation timeline runs, Blend rotates the object 15 degrees relative to the object's rotation angle at the previous keyframe.

To transform an object relatively

  1. Select the object that you want to transform, by using either the Selection toolJJ170769.2ff91340-477e-4efa-a0f7-af20851e4daa(fr-fr,VS.110).png or the Direct Selection tool JJ170769.6dd6571f-c116-451d-8dd2-1f88b8406362(fr-fr,VS.110).png and then clicking the object on the artboard.

  2. In the RenderTransform category under Transform in the Properties panel, click the appropriate tab (Rotate JJ170769.321b430b-5c8e-47dc-93f8-0e85ac32cca5(fr-fr,VS.110).png, Scale JJ170769.7a93944e-a7f5-4607-babd-768bb5f56185(fr-fr,VS.110).png, and so on) for the transform that you want to perform.
