Moving pivot points in MEL

[yns]

I'm trying to move a pivot point to an edge(poly)...works like a charm through the interface using the insert mode,"c" key and MMB, but I can't seem to get Maya to recognize that attribute through MEL.

Instruction:
move -x 0.5 pPlane1.scalePivot pPlane1.rotatePivot ;

Error message:
// Error: line 14: Invalid argument: pPlane1.scalePivot //

When I set "Echo all commands", and move the pivot via the GUI, and then just copy and paste what's been generated...it still fails.

Any thoughts?

to move the pivot point you need to use:

xform -rotatePivot double double double ;

xform -scalePivot double double double ;

or if you want to change both of them at the same times:

xform -pivots double double double ;

Hope this helps,
