Maya Controls and 3D Cursor

Support Basics & Interface
1

Hello Everybody,

I’ve used Maya for a long time now, but want to become more familiar with Blender. I’m using the Maya input preset for controls and I want to set the origin (pivot) of objects to specified locations. I can do this by using the 3D Cursor: Object > Transform > Origin to 3D Cursor. But how can I set the position of the 3D Cursor using Maya controls? Left-clicking does not set the cursor position, as it does with the Blender controls.

Thank you in advance for your help.

In user preferences / Input settings add the following under the 3D View / 3D View (Global) section.
Set the shortcut to whatever you want it to be as long as it does not clash with any other

You can also move the curser to a selection by Spacebar and search for cursor, then select Snap Cursor to Selection

This worked for me! Thanks!
