3D manipulator doesn't move with object, yet I can use it to move the object!

I must have accidentally hit something…suddenly the 3D manipulator will not move correspondingly when I move its object.

the object moves. the 3D manipulator remains where it had been!

Any clues what up with this? I’m using 2.58a, downloaded from Blender.org.

thanks!

I guess you set the 3dcursor as the pivot point. It’s in the 3dview header, next to viewport shading. Shortcuts are ‘,’ and ‘.’ to switch pivot point between bounding box center and 3dcursor

Thank you, Sago…that was it.

so often weird blender behavior are a result of my inadvertently hitting some key…

That was drving me insane too - thanks for the post - 10 years later it still was relevant!
