Thought that would be the reason ... and it's a good thing, because often it's very helpful to rotate about the origin instead of the mesh's pivot ... and you know what I'm going to say next don't you ...   ;D 8) ... that it would be a good option to offer users when doing rotations of native meshes .. the option to rotate around the origin instead of the mesh center.

 ;-)

Claude:
In axis mode,you can move and rotate the pivot point.

chuft-captain:
Claude,

That's good to know ... but to borrow a phrase by Slartibartfast from Hitchhiker's Guide, "I don't know this 'Axis' mode of which you speak".
The only "modes" I have ever seen are Object, Figure, Sequence, Scene.

(I did say my knowledge of Anim8or features was not that broad, didn't I?  8) :D :D ::) )

Thanks!

Claude:
This button called Object/Axis mode lets you move an object's pivot or origin.

There's also some special functions in menu Edit/Pivot.

Sorry if my answer lacked details.

chuft-captain:
Claude,

I can't find that button in my version (latest dev build 1318).
The only button that looks vaguely like it is in the Coord section (group of three) but when I hover over it, it says "World Coordinates <w>".
Is that the button you meant?

EDIT: Forget that, I think I just found the button you mean (just above the other one) ... sorry about that. I'll try that out to see it's effects.
