Good lateral thinking. I hadn't even considered using the selection "blobs" for that. Though it would only work for centring objects.

@Xhris
Yep that would be a nice feature to have as well.

What I would like to see is the current "set origin position" button

work in the normal "selection" stage as well as its current use with the "rotate" stage of an object.
In the normal selection stage it would adjust where the objects x-y co-ordinates were based on. eg centre or top/right of the object.

Do Xara have a specific location for suggesting new features?
