Object Location Confusion

Fascinating. Which operations in AC3D actually use the location reported in the Object Property window? How is the location used? I have only ever used the centroid. What would happen if the location is set outside the object?

Minor Bug with the Property Editor visible on screen:
When you rotate the object manually using mouse click and drag the location updates when the mouse is released. The exact rotate (eg 30 degrees about Z) only changes the Loc xyz when the property Editor is re-requested (F9) .
This occurs even in Object mode. It should update for both tools.
