Within Workspace, when I display an object's axes then try to relocate or rotate them numerically (via the Info Panel), it ends up affecting the entire object, instead of just the axes. I think of this as a bug, or at least a missing feature which "should" be implemented, since without it we have no general way within Workspace to manipulate an object's axes with precision. (Zooming in very tightly and dragging the axes manually while watching the numbers change just isn't very convenient.) Any chance this might be implemented in the 7.6 upgrade?

With your object selected use the down arrow key. Object information panel should read Pivot. Then you can set your settings fot the Axes/Pivot in the panel.

Thanks; that did the trick. :) (Maybe this extra step, relative to the Model side, can get added to the manual in the next revision, as it doesn't appear to be there now, in the section on Workspace axis manipulations.)
