Object "Action Center"
So on the PC editor if you use the mouse interface, you see 4 buttons labeled:
Average Action Center [N]
Object Action Center [N]
User Action Center [N]
Solo Action Center [N]
I know the objects show like a 3d "small ball" or " larger globe" inside them in User and Solo mode, but can't figure it out.
Seems to be pc only so I haven't found any documentation on this, anyone knows what it does exactly?

Re: Object "Action Center"
I don't know either so I experimented with a bit and tried to figure out what it does. Here's what I've found:
The "Action Center" seems to be the point around which you can rotate objects with the rotate tool, so
- with Average Action Center, the selected objects rotate around the center of all of them
- with Object Action Center, the selected objects rotate around the center of one of the selected objects (usually the first one you select -- the rotation/translation handles should be on it)
- with User Action Center, you can click and drag the "small ball" to choose the point around which your selection rotates
- with Solo Action Center, each object rotates individually about its center.
I haven't found anything else that depends on the action center. Snapping to DL or to snap plane still seems to use the average center.
I'd like to hear from someone who knows more about this though.
