I use Max 4.2

Is there an easy way to move an object away from its own stationary pivot?

Must be able to animate

any help would be greatly apreciated?

You can do it by moving the vertices (sub object level) and not the object.

I could do it at a sub object level but i was hoping for an easer way as it has to be animated.

Maybe some combination of dummys/ path constraints?

i need to be able to rotate the red disk around the blue sphere after it comes out of the hole

make sense?

Thanks for taking the time to help:)

I would do it with a Linked Xform modifier and a couple dummies.
