No, when you apply a transform to a view, it becomes _the_ transform; it isn't
retaining previous translation state. Based on what you've said, it sounds like
when you touch/move the object that you're applying a translation transform to
the view.

You may already know this but the CFAffineTransformMake*() functions apply a
single operation (rotate, scale or translate) to the identity transform. If,
for example, you called CGAffineTransformMakeRotation() and then later
CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(), then the rotation will be lost.

Keep track of translation and rotation values in your model and then build
translated+rotated transforms that reflect the current state of each object.
- (IBAction)rotateShape:(UIRotationGestureRecognizer *)gesture {
modelObject = ...;
modelObject.rotation = gesture.rotation;
gesture.view.transform = [self transformForModelObject:modelObject];
}
