Layout Mode of Applying Transformations to 3D Fragment

The following option is available in the automenu of the 3D fragment's insertion and editing commands, when applying transformations to the fragment:

If the position of the 3D fragment does not depend on the position of a 2D fragment, then this option has no effect.

 

If the position of the 3D fragment depends on the position of a 2D fragment (i.e. the 3D fragment has Fixing by workplane), then this option is active by default and the status of this option defines, whether the transformations manually applied to the 3D fragment will affect the position and orientation of the linked 2D fragment. When it's active, 3D fragment transformations manipulators, which would allow to detach the fragment from its fixing workplane, are hidden, so the fragment can be moved and rotated only within such workplane. Transformations applied to 3D fragment, while the option is active, are also automatically applied to corresponding 2D fragment. Transformations applied to 3D fragment, while the option is not active, do not affect corresponding 2D fragment.

When using the dedicated Transformations command for applying transformations to a 3D fragment with Fixing by workplane, the layout mode is always active, and its option is not displayed in the automenu.
