rotation manipulation on bones

[Anonymous]

if I select a few objects then in the
tool settings for the rotate tool I select
rotation center-selection and
turn on Modify Translation

I can rotate the selected objects around it's center

this does not happen on multiple selected joints
is this a bug? or is there a quick script i can run to rotate joints in the same better

It's by design. The translation of bone is base on the parent bone, it's like constrain. You couldn't change the translation of bone so easy. It lead to potential problems.

The best way to do it is group them and then rotate, if the hierarchy of bones is not changed.
