I really HAVE to share this link to you all, this is the simplest and BEST script about.

 

Please give your gratitude to the author and rate it.

 

Works by loading it in the context menu she attached and clicking on affect pivot and with object snap on click on the vertex or midpoint whatever tickles your fancy

 

An option to centre pivot also

Hum, so what's the difference with the Pivot options in the hierarchy panel?

Looks more like a shortcut. Any special features?

steps by doing it that way.

 

select object

go to hierarchy panel

hit affect pivot

Spend ages trying to grab hold of the pivot

span pivot to wherever you want

click on affect pivot AGAIN

 

This method

 

select object

right click and choose affect pivot

with snap on click where you want the pivot point. DONE

 

As you see there twice as less steps to perform (BUT saving 80% time)

Not really but you don't have to brother moving or going near the pivot just click where you want it to go.

 

I don't think there is a shortcut within max to centre the objects pivot or snap the pivot to vertex or what ever you prefer.

If you have a big monitor you can also look at http://313designstudio.com/rappatools/ : quite some nice shortcuts in there. As with CPivot
