rotating symbols about the insertion point

[Stage63]

If I insert a symbol as a light position object, I can change the rotation about the z-axis using the "Rotation" box in the object info panel. Why can't I access the same "Rotation" box when I select a non-lighting hybrid symbol? I see the "Rotate 3D..." button, but that doesn't allow me to choose the symbol insertion point as the rotation point, it doesn't tell me how many degrees it's rotated to begin with, and the ability to TELL it to rotate on non-z-axes is superfluous because it won't ALLOW me to rotate on non-z-axes, so you only need one variable to control them anyway.

Is there an option to turn on the "Rotation" box in the object info panel for hybrid symbols? If not, there should be.

(EDIT: a clarrification. I'm talking about hybrid symbols that I create. Predefined symbols I can get the "Rotation" box, but for hybrid symbols I design I can't.)

The rotation box is always on in the OIP for me with hybrid symbols. Not sure why it would be turned off. And at least it rotates around the insertion point!
