cutPlaneCenter being ignored? (noob)

[perfect_paradigm]

I just started messing around with PyMel in Maya 2011 today so I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but I can't figure it out.

In the code below the polyCut is applied to the center of the object and not at the origin like I want. It seems the cutPlaneCenter (pc) flag/argument is being ignored.

import pymel.core as pm

pm.polyCut( cd="X", pc=(0, 0, 0) )

[joojaa]

Objects and nodes do not know about worldsapce coordinates, they only know of the local cordinate space, which is why the different spaces exist in firstplace. The purpose is to isolate the objecst form knowing about hierarchy and trasformation so you can manipuleta their position, without every peiiece of program needing to know about this and account for it. 0 0 0 is simply center. Now the local center is NOT the pivot handles postion, it too has a life of its own.
