part offset GUI.

[Rushligh]

So, for the Devs, and any moders out there... can we please, PLEASE talk about why the part offset direction isn't relative to the orientation of the part? If I rotate a part, the new orientation affects the position of the rotation axis(s) in the editor gui, but the offset directions are not changed. They remain a fixed xyz relative to the world. I understand why that might be useful but could we have a setting to change the offset from root of the hanger, to root of the part's orientation? (like with radial attachment).

this is a SERIOUS pet peve for me.

I dont know if you know this but if you press "F" it toggles to relative offset. This works for every VAB tool i think (offset and rotation gizmo)

Take a look at the keybindings on the wiki, was added in 0.90 : http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Key_bindings

This. Press F to change from "absolute" offset or rotation to "local" mode. Both modes have their uses and it's handy to be able to switch between them.
