Do you get the same result if you move an object via command line or script
editor?
This will nudge the selected object by 1 unit in X from its current position:
Application.Translate("", 1, 0, 0, "siRelative", "siGlobal", "siObj", "siXYZ",
"", "", "siXYZ", "", "", "", "", "", "", 0, "")
This will set the object to X=1,Y=0, Z=0:
Application.Translate("", 1, 0, 0, "siAbsolute", "siGlobal", "siObj", "siXYZ",
"", "", "siXYZ", "", "", "", "", "", "", 0, "")
Testing it in this way will possibly tell you if the error is at the interface
level or something much deeper such as the transformation matrix.

Subject: I'd like to punch Softimage in the face today
I'm working under a tight deadline in 2014 SP2. Doing an animation that
involves physX simulation, which I know virtually nothing about. Client has
been loving everything so far, then we have the dreaded conference call when
they have a list of "little tweaks", none of which are little.
Today I come to the office at 5am, load my scene and start to try to make the
tweaks. The moment I try to use translate, scale or rotate on anything in my
scene - BAM, Softimage crashes.
Reboot the machine - same thing. Run "runonce.bat" - same thing. Delete the
Softimage 2014 SP2 folder from my User profile - same thing. Disable physX -
same thing.
Merge the scene into a new one.... same thing.
WTF???
There's no crash dump, no attempt at recovery - just Autodesk Softimage 2014
has stopped working.
The only option I can find is to go back to a version of the scene prior to
physX being applied.
Stuff like this makes me want to throw my system out the window & become Amish.
