How to set spaceball rotation center?

[boffin5]

Hi folks,

I am using a spaceball, which I couldn't live without, but I can't figure out how to set a rotation center in a 3D model. There is an icon, titled 'set rotation center'. When I pick it, I get a popup that says 'select an object', but when I try to do that, it won't accept my pick. So, I am stuck with rotating about 0,0,0 which is a pain for a large assembly. Any ideas?

Select your object/vertex/face first... then click the icon.
