Absolute position for multiple vertices
The user should be able to move several vertices to the same location at once (Absolute mode). So: select vertices and enter values into the Transform Type In. Right now, the vertices will be transformed as a group, not each one individually

This works fine as long as "Use Selection Center" mode is active

Ok for me, thanks Martin

I edited the description to match the comments. Please check whether this still reflects your request.

Well, sincerely sorry for my bad english. I will try to do better in this comment. If i definitively fails, I will try to give later a jing link to show this issue.
1/ So, let's consider that we have selected 4 vertices (Epoly) that we want to place at x/y/z = 0/2/50. We are obliged to do :
2/ Planar-align X
3/ Planar-align Y
4/ Planar-align Z
5/6/7/ Set each numeric field of the Transform Type In area to get the final result.
Don't you find this a little annoying ? Personnaly, it is a wasted time.
What I suggest :
1/ select the desired vertices
2/ click on a "magic" lock transform button/checkbox (?)
3/ put the value in one of the TTI numeric field (or maybe the only free field, the 2 others being grayed out)
4/ okNotes :
* Of course, it should work for every subobject of any editable entity (Emesh, Epoly, editable spline,...)
* Of course, it already works for a multiple selection of objects (common transformation) but not in one click -
can you post a link to a jing video capture? i'm not sure i understand

I didn't well explain. Yes, it works for a multiple selection of objects but you are obliged to enter a value for each axis and validate it before do the same thing for the next one. In fact, you don't have an offset world/ uniform setting that could lock these axis in the same time. BUT, anyway, it doesn't works at all for any sub-object level of any editable entity and this is what wish first.

Could you explain that a bit more? Right now, you can select multiple objects and enter a number into the TTI which will cause all objects to have that precise position. How would you like this to work?
