I know you can't start the program at that setting that I'm aware but you get set it yourself per file.

It is a nuisance - the Gripper keeps reverting to "center of selected" every time I reactivate it. A bore. If anything I think it should default to "user positioned" by default in the software. Who grabs a part by some arbitrary "center of selected" point anyway?

That's the default setting. You can assign your own origin as far as I know. If you follow the other topic you can see a picture. See. http://forum.punchcad.com/showthread.php?t=5048 you can set the origin by hitting that button. I don't think you can set it as default as the program needs an input from you as to where to set the origin in space.

As far as setting origin - that seems somewhat redundant as it is easy to drag the gripper in the "user positioned" mode to a vertex, etc. I'd vote for eliminating all redundancies and stay minimalist for clarity. I think the gripper could (and should) default to "user postioned" in spite of the objection you mention. After all, the "user positioned" option needs to be selected before the origin is set.
