1. Re: Inherit object's pivot?
conroy Apr 2, 2013 3:57 PM (in response to TorQue[MoD])Enter transform mode. Drag the pivot wherever you want. If the bounding box has a small width or height and that's preventing you from dragging only the pivot then hold down Alt/Option and drag the pivot. If the pivot is dragged so it's not at the bounding box centre or on a handle then no point will be highlighted in the proxy in the Options bar and you'll be able to enter coordinates in the X and Y fields of the Options bar for precise positioning of the pivot.

2. Re: Inherit object's pivot?
TorQue[MoD] Apr 2, 2013 4:05 PM (in response to conroy)Ok so that's almost exactly what I was looking for... the Hold Alt part was what I was missing... couldn't get the pivot to move outside the bounding box.
The only other question is.... is there a way to simply tell an object's pivot to snap to another object's pivot instead of to a grid line? The Snap To Options are all on but there isn't an entry for Pivots. Unless they're called something else?

3. Re: Inherit object's pivot?
conroy Apr 2, 2013 4:18 PM (in response to TorQue[MoD])As far as I know, a pivot won't snap to anything except the centre and handles of its associated bounding box. I think you'll need to copy the coordinates of the other object's pivot to the pivot that's being moved.
