[Bf-committers] New Rot Scale Pivot mode-

[Campbell Barton]

Hi, have been blending all day and thaught of a new rot/scale/pivot mode 
that would be usefull.

Could be called -*Centre Only 3d Cursor  *and  *Centre Only Median Point***
This would only be available in object mode,
it would work by rotating/scaling the object the same as in 3d curser 
mode but The objects Scale and rotation would not change.

This could be used to align a heap of different objects allong an axis 
ysing the scale tool (without making them flat)
- Doubles as an object alignment tool! *Centre Only + Scale = Object 
align tool.*

* Changing the pitch of a staircase with the rotate tool without 
changing the angle of the stairs themselves.

* Modifying the spacing of a staircase without the scale of the stairs.

* Basicly- Many functions where you might use dupliverts or vert parents 
but it dosent require the user to set up dupliverts/vert-parents while 
still having there advantages.

Has advantages over dupliverts which can only use 1 object data and 
repeate it, this would simply work with the current selection.

Im interested in what you guys think as well as weather this feature 
(bug free etc) would be accepted into BF-Blender
