3ds max rotation problem

[Argo]

I need to know how to switch from pivot to center rotation while the Auto Key button is turned on.

What do you mean by "center" rotation? Objects always rotate at their pivot point.

in 3ds max 7 you can select 3 types of rotation, one of them being selection center, but when i turn on Auto Key it switches back to Pivot?!

Try with settings in hierarchy tab -> adjust pivot

hierarchy tab -> adjust pivot-> set pivotpoint to center of mesh

(thats what would be the equivalent translation from german 3dsmax5)

oh yeah and what if he wanted to use the current pivot point position for rotation. and pivot point's position can't be animated, so that's a terrible idea. Unfortunately I don't think this is possible in max 7, but in 9 it is like I told you at wc3c. And I think 8 too. So I suggest you get 9.
