I don't think I'd move rotation to a separate dialog. I do agree that doing both at once just muddies the water, but we can have radio buttons in the dialog to chose which the user wants to perform.

We should also simplify the Move Exactly dialog to handle ONLY the straight-forward case: move relative to current position. Rotating a group of objects would rotate each one around its own anchor.

The Position Relative To dialog could then do all the complicated, anchor-relative stuff. I wouldn't add more anchors though; we already have a boat-load of origins. If they want to rotate around a point then they can place the User Origin there and then do the rotate. Similarly, if they want to move an object to an exact position relative to something else, then they can place the User Origin on that something else and then do the move.
