# pivot point

A pivot point is a point on which you will resize or rotate your pegs and the elements attached to them.

In the Apply Pivot to panel in the Peg tab, you select if you want to offset the default pivot point for rotation or scale. You cannot offset the pivot point for both scaling and rotation.

- If you select Rotation, you will be able to move the pivot point when you rotate the peg.
- If you select Scaling, you will be able to move the pivot point when you scale the peg.

The Pivot Path function in the Function Editor illustrates how the pivot point changes position during the rotation effect.
