Overview

When a group is created, a pivot point is automatically attached to the group and is used as reference when moving or rotating the group. By default, the pivot point is placed to coincide with the first object selected to be added to the group. There are cases when this is not the desired location for the pivot point. We provide two modes of editing the location of a group's pivot.
