Cannot move elements in 2D scene. Help

I have been trying to move the elements in the scene with the moving tool (hotkey ‘W’), but the elements don’t move/transform. The tools work when i change the scene to 3d, but i go back to 2d and still don’t work. Any idea on how to fix it?

Thanks,

Which objects are you talking about? If you’re trying to move Sprites, they won’t show a “Move” manipulator when in 2D mode. You simply hold click down on them and drag them where you want. They did it this way because since you are only dealing with 2 axis, the manipulator isn’t really needed. Set up your Snap settings to be power of 2 numbers or fractions, and then hold CTRL while moving, to greatly simplify your placement of objects in 2D.

edit: Make sure your Sprite Renderer or other components aren’t collapsed in the Inspector. As it won’t show the manipulators for that object while it’s collapsed.

Why on earth would Unity would do that oO ?
