well, with a multiple selection it automatically moves it as a group in
translate? The edit pivot button is safer for scaling components/multiple
selections, and always reset after. Its not quite as neat as xsi was, but
usable.

cool thx
never seen that before

it's only on rotate, and seems like holding d moves the pivot and changes
the actual pivot of everything

Also, you can hold down d or press edit pivot to change the pivots for the
selection.

In rotate settings, change rotate center to Selection.

Make sure that you activate the modify translation checkbox underneath
though, as it will really screw your animation otherwise. Not sure why
that's not on by default.
