Is there a way I can manually key in the coordinates of the Transform Origin point? (Desginer)

[Orca Cat]

Right now, my workaround to this is to create a Square and place it in the specific position by keying in the coordinates in the Transform panel. Then, I drag the Origin point of the object I am working on to the Square's nodes/vertice/center/etc, while snapping is enabled.

Is there a way I can key in the origin coords of the object I am working on instead of what I am doing now?

I notice that if I am editing the Origin point by dragging it, its coords changes on the Transform panel. Then I'd think, maybe with this I can manually key it in. But when I do, it moves the object as a whole, and not just the transform coords.

I understand that this is indeed its use case. But I would love to be able to have an option to edit the Origin of an object without actually moving the object just yet.

Hi,

no AFAIK you can't manually key in the coordinates of the transform origin point.

That would be a very good request to make: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/52-feature-requests-suggestions/

Ah dang. Yeah, I kinda guessed that but I just wanted to make sure.

Thanks. I've made the feature request. Hopefully they would consider adding this feature.
