:idea: :idea: The ability to move the center point to any position either by selecting and dragging or entering coordinates would be great.

This would allow you to rotate an object around another object.

Example:
I have modelled a circular tank with an open top. On top of the tank is a walkway that extends out to the middle of the tank however. I would like to rotate the walkway about the top of the tank. It would be so much easier if I could move the center point or (about Point) of the walkway to the center of the tank, thus allowing me to position the walkway at any angle or direction.

I hope this makes sense.
