Procedure

To lock all move transforms:

Select an object in the viewports.
In the Locks rollout, turn on Move group > X, Y, and Z.
Only rotate and scale transforms will work.
The object does not need to be part of a hierarchy.

Interface

X, Y, Z—Turn on any axis in the Move, Rotate, or Scale group box to lock the axis. For example, if Rotate > X and Y are turned on, you'll be able to rotate the object only around the Z axis. All locks are relative to an object's local coordinate system.
