Sorry, I thought you were talking about when you select "body". Yes if you translate the hip, then rotate the body, it orbits the body center, which is still where it was before.

If you translate the hip, and rotate the hip, it doesn't orbit. It spins around the new hip center.

Translating the hip does not move the body center, only the hip center moves. The same is true of any body part. Translate a part, and the center of that part moves as well and is the new rotation center for that part. But translating any part of the figure leaves the body center unmodified.

I wanted to load Antonia into Poser 8 to see if Antonia behaves differently, but it hangs Poser 8. Hmmmmm. Tried it twice.

Are you saying with Antonia, translate hip, then rotate body, it doesn't orbit the original body center? Then it must be that somehow the body center moves with the hip center. I don't know how you tie these two together, but that's the only way it would behave differently.
