Transform > Local > Set Pivot

Positions the pivot point of the picked object.

Note:

Pivots cannot be set for CVs or curve-on-surface elements.

Procedures

Change an object's pivot point

Move multiple CVs toward or away from a point

Create a curve from a library of pre-drawn curves (sweeps)

Scale a canvas plane

Move, scale, or rotate an image layer

Resize an object on a canvas

Add selection handles

Set Pivot Options

Rotation

Display the Rotation Pivot as a circle with a dot at the center.

Scaling

Display the Scaling pivot as an asterisk.

Move Selection Handle

A selection handle moves with the rotation pivot. Turn off this option to allow the selection handle and pivot to be moved independently.

Turning off this option can be useful if you plan to use Toggle Shade on an object. You can put the selection handle outside the object so that you can still click it, while at the same time you want the object to go on rotating and scaling about its center of mass.
