Scaling items

[JeremyTankard]

Hi,

Scaling by a specific amount seems a bit long-winded.

For instance, if I have a word and I select its bounding box/frame and I want to scale it by 50% I have to
go to Transform panel
click on the chain icon to constrain both axis
type in the scale amount (50%) in the mm width or height field
hit return

It would be good to have a scale option easily available
instead of guessing I have to enter %
– took me a while to work out how to do this

Also option-click on the frame and have scale under the contextual menu would be useful.

I know I can drag the frame corner and it constrains but not be a specific amount. Perhaps option-click on a frame node will allow to enter a specific amount
Corners = constrain
Vertical Edge = non-constrained in the horizontal direction
Horizontal Edge = non-constrained in the vertical direction
