Rotate and Scale doesn't seem to work. I can press the buttons but the object doesn't move for rotate or scale. What am I doing wrong? This is on a Mac with Mac OS 10.11.5

You don't give much information to go on. When you select the object do the edges highlight in yellow? Have you tried selecting it through the object>transform>rotate menu? If you are using hot keys is the curser in the 3d viewport when you press the key? Pretty much just a shot in the dark here. ;)

Another possibility is that Snapping is enabled, causing the transform to not activate initially until the mouse-movement threshold is passed.
If this is the case then pressing SHIFT+TAB, markfn, will toggle snapping off.

Sorry for the lack of information, I wasn't sure what would be needed so this was a start. Anyway, the problem seems to have been corrected, probably by a restart. Should have tried a restart before asking. Mark
