What is the difference between these two. I see there is a rotate under both. If I want to move an arm let's say, I have to use the rotate settings under transform.

And why does the universal tool let you rotate some parts easily, but other parts will only rotate slowly, A lot of times I just go to the settings and update them there, For example, I rotate the shoulder down and it moves quickly, but the I want to bend the lower arm (can't think of what they call it) and it will only move in slow increments with the universal tool. Sometimes I can use the rotate tool, but that will move it in move than one plane at a time. I'm sure there's a way to restrict it, but I don't know how.

And if I want to bend (rotate) rotate the hand, why does it move the whole arm? Is it because of IK. I thought IK was only enabled by default for the legs, or is that just in Poser. I didn't have any problem posing the legs other than the upper part moved quickly, but I had to use the dials to bend the lower section since the universal tool only rotated (bent) it very slowing.

Thanks
