Changing Pivot Point
I have a CAD file that I imported and let's say it looks something like an
arm. Yes a real arm with an elbow and shoulder. When I select the object it makes the center point the default point of which it pivots when using the rotate tool. How can I change that point so that when you use the rotate tool that it uses the shoulder? This is not my real data but I think it gets my point across. -- ___________________ Dedicated to learning from the experts |

Select the shape, then menu Window - Show Shapesheet In the Shape Transform section you will see two cells, LocPinX and LocPinY, these are the locations of the center of the shape and the rotation center. They will probably be set to Width*0.5 and Height*0.5. If you want to change the rotation point to the bottom left hand corner then set these to Width*1 and Height*0 -- Regards, Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd.
