Hey there!
Is there a reason that a Curve does not react to rotation/translation/scale but only the geometry that represents it?
Simple example: I modified the TestBezierCurve. The CurveController follows the original curve, the Line that gets drawn is scaled and translated. When you start it you'll know what I mean.

Can we change that or am I just doing something wrong?
thx in advance,
