OK, thanks for the confirmation. For what we're doing we pretty much have to be controlling the rotation of some objects using something that looks and acts like the Maya rotate manipulator. But given the scale of what we're working on it's hard to see implementing a new tool that completely replicates the rotate manipulator. I guess we may look at seeing if we can do something hackish that involves using the rotate tool to manipulate nulls, and callbacks, maybe, to try to sort of replicate a custom manipulator. Makes me a bit uneasy, but it seems like the only reasonable thing for us to do at this point, short of just abandoning this idea. Thanks again for the confirmation.
