Is there any way to rotate the scale pivot in maya the way you can in softimage 3d? Is there any plugin/script that takes care of this?

If there is some simple thing I've missed out on, please let me know, this is anoying to me.

i usually do this by rotating the object to the desired scale direction and then modify-freeze transformation and rotate the object back to original.

i know this is a workaround. softimage handles this better:D

Thanks, I never thought of working it around in that specific order. I'll see if I can write some script to get this done by one click of the mouse. I do I'll post it.

Cheers! :beer:
