3 Layout Tools for simplifing certain task
inside LW.
AddRot++ - Allows you to add rotation to the current selected objects
Custom Rotation - Rotates Objects around  predefined Center
Scale Distance - Scales the distance not the objects itself

Due to the fact, there were slight changes to the LayoutTool class iin the last view versions,
I decided to make this 9.3.1 only (sorry for this)

All tools work on the primarly viewport axis only .
and do use the right mouse button for larger step sies (as for AddRotation
and Custom Rotation: 1 Degree)

All tools ignore autokey off.

Image
AddRotation++, this tool is mainly a replacement for LightWaves own
Add Rotation (wich only works on the first selected object):

Image
Allows you to rotate one / several objects around  a custom center: Wit h or without keeping
the original rotation.

Origin: Either a custom origin (by entering a value or dragging the
cross indicating the center) or the average position of all pivots.

Method: (Either keep current rotation of the object, or rotate it
(can result to unexpected results with child objects)

Popup: For quick assigning an object pivot as rotation center

Apply: For entering a numeric value / apply it to the selected object (similar behaviour like modelers tools)

Image
Allows you to scale the distance between different objects (without scaling the objects itself),
most of the functions / behavior are similar to Custom Rotation.

Method: 
Stretch allows you to manualy scale into the wo visibe viewport direction (ZX for top view etc...)
Stretch Flat Keeps the proportions in the ZX axis while scaling
Scale: Scales in all three axis
