@spikeyxxx Let me explain it in other words 😉: The “3D Cursor” as “Pivot Point” doesn’t influence the movement of the object itself but where the calculated position of the mouse pointer is. This results in different visual speeds of the translated object and the mouse pointer’s if the “3D Cursor” and the translated object are far apart from each other. So you get the strange feeling of not really controlling your object because you normally use the mouse as the visual controller of the moved object .
Switching to “Orthographic View” reveals that the absolute movement of the mouse pointer on its plane is the same for a certain distance that your mouse has been moved on its pad since mouse pointer and object are now moving with the same visual speed due to the lack of “Perspective Distortion”.
PS: Was this short enough 😉?
