I am a beginner in Houdini. Is there anyway that I can make “handle aligned to world” as default for translating objects. I have a test scene which contains more than 10 lights. Each time I move the lights (in object environment), I have to change the handle to “handle aligned to world”.

Is there anyway that I can make “handle aligned to world” as default for translating objects?

As with most preferences, you would probably find it in Preferences… crazy talk!!
