Thanks. That is an interesting use of center I hadn't thought of before...

I'm not 100% sure what you mean by what 'the main case uses are' - I just use it to do exactly what it says it does! It's just a flexible and intuative way of working. For example: if I've made a rig control that floats outside some geometry, but I want it's pivot to match an object I have in the rig already (maybe a bone it's meant to control... something like that). I can make and shape the control curve how I like, turn on Centre mode, do a Match Transforms to that object and hit Freeze. Very quick and very easy to do.

That was really a pre-pivot workflow that XSI inherited from SI|3D and it simply applies a transform to the object and a mirror transform to the geometry thereby giving the *illusion* that that center has changed. Of course, reset transforms will mess up the center. (unless you also set the neutral pose) As someone who worked on that area in SI I'm really curious to know what the main use cases for Center are?

No you cant rotate a center in Maya you can just move it. WTF????
