option-drag a corner point of an object to scale it over the center

[bjoern07]

In almost every app able to work with objects you can scale objects around the center by pressing the option-key (Mac) when dragging a corner point.

Not so with Affinity.

Why?

Please add this feature (or don't remove it) in upcoming versions.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

I'm on Windows, so I can't say for sure how it works on Mac, but on Windows, if I have an object selected and the Move Tool active, and I put the mouse cursor over a corner node of the object's bounding box, I see the following on the Status Bar at the bottom of the window:

You probably have something similar there.

Hi!

Thanks. Indeed I missed the "bottom line". It tells me to hold the CMD-key.

Okay - Now I change this into a bug-report.

The modifier has to be OPTION, not CMD. This is so awfully wrong as Affinity is the only one Mac app uses a different modifier.

Please change ASAP.

@bjoern07, this has been previously covered by our developers, here - 

I hope this clears things up
