Absolute World Pivot position
How can I get the values for the pivots active position.
For example.
I have a pivot with its pivot at 0,0,0.
When I select an edge in subobject mode the pivots position then changes to 0,10,0.
These values can be seen at the bottom of the main UI in the 3 spinners that display the active pivot position.
Is there any way I can get these values.
So if I have a selection of 4 verts the pivot is automatically the average position of all of them.

What I am trying to get.
Example.
1.Create a box with height:5 width:5 length:5 at pos:[0,0,0]
2.Select 3 pivots on the heighest part of the box.
vert 1 pos:[2.5,2.5,5.0]
vert 2 pos:[2.5,-2.5,5.0]
vert 3 pos:[-2.5,-2.5,5.0]
3.Look at the main UI of Max at the bottom where it shows the pivots pos transform values.
The values should be as listed:
x:0.833333
y:-0.833333
z:5.0
I want that information listed above. The x,y,z.
If i try and run $.pos it returns 0,0,0 which is correct because its the objects transform location but its not pivots current location.
It should be = [0.833333,-0.833333,5.0]
The same goes for if edges or polygons are selected.

It was still giving me the position of the objects pivot and not the current selections pivot.
