Rotation center cannot be set independently of the cursor #17765

Open FEA-eng opened 1 week ago

FEA-eng commented 1 week ago

Is there an existing issue for this?

Problem description

Currently, with Rotation mode: Drag at cursor (other modes always use the center of the object or window), the rotation center is located where the cursor is when rotating. It would be nice to also have an option to set the rotation center anywhere (e.g. by clicking with MMB) and keep it there even when rotating with the cursor positioned elsewhere until the rotation center is redefined. This approach is also used by other software.

Yes, this would make rotation more comfortable.
