Hello:

  I'm making a torsion bar tank suspension.  I made a 'road wheel' and moved
it into position.  I then use 'duplicate object' and displace the wheels in
Y.

  If I rotate the first wheel, it works fine - it spins around it's center.

  If I rotate any of the other wheels, they spin around the origin?

  I'm having the same problem with the suspension 'arms'.  (a simple cube,
long and thin; the 'axles' won't move so are part of the body.  I made
refences for them, and then moved the local coords to the end of the bar;
thinking that this way it would pivot 'up and down'. This works fine, again
for the first object.  The reference'd objects spin about the origin!

  Any suggestions?  Should I just reset each reference'd objects local
coords?  (there are over 80 of these).

                  == John ==

yes ... (at least this is, what I would do next)
