Resetting Transformations
With the Reset command, you can return a selected element to its initial position and scale values, depending on which tool is active. For example, if the Rotate tool is active, the transformation angle will be reset to 0 and if the Transform tool is active, then all transformation values will be reset.
The Reset All option Resets all transformations on the current frame in a selected layer. Your keyframe will remain, but all the values will return to the starting value. All transformations are reset regardless of the tool you're using.
The Reset All Except Z option resets Resets all transformations on the current frame except the Z position. This is useful when doing cut-out animation. Cut-out puppets often have a particular Z ordering for the different views of a character. You might want to reset the transformation, but not necessarily the Z position.
