rotaing the move pivot

[rob-beddall]

hey!!
i don't think that it is possible to rotate the move pivot.
you can make it face different directions depending on the way your model is set-up.
double click on the move icon on the left hand side ( in the tool bar) and there should be some options about what you can do with it.
things like global, normals and that stuff.
if i remember right that is.
hope that helps some.
cheers!!

yes, thanks sigma. i had seen that thread but it only made me more confused, and i was wondering if there wasn't some way in maya 4............... perhaps not.

you could grab my localOrient.mel script off highend3d for doing just this. note the notes in the header though. cant wait to have 5, and be able to move/scale along the offset rotatn axis, wooh, gee, a|w going crazy there, slow down guys, slow down.
