With shift-s one toogles between scale/skew and rotation, but I'm only able to alter the position of the centerpoints in the latter mode thus making combinated precision scaling and position quite cumbersome. Is there any workarround or may have I missed something?

Kind regards, Raaskot

I don't think it is possible to move the rotational centre in normal scale mode, it only appears in rotate mode.

I presume this is so you can use snap to rotational centre ? 

You can return the rotational centre crosshair to the centre by shift + left click though.

Thanks:)
Is there any workarounds? I often need scaling centered a certain part of the artwork -- not only limited to the corners (or center) of the bounding box.
This feature is available in ie. AI and Moho.

Toggle with shift+S - in rotation mode move pivot point - Toggle - shift+ctrl+LMB drag up/down to scale from new pivot point.

Cool, thanks, @Polygon :)
I would simply never have had figured that out on my own!
Kind regards,

Glad you like it. 😅
