Is it possible to create a rectangle with the upper left corner as the origin, rather than the center?This is me every time I need to make a rectangle In this case all I wanted to do was create a rect whose upper corners snapped to the left/right edges of the circle.
I’m usually able to find a circuitous route to get what I need, but it’s an unintuitive and slow process for me, coming from a graphic design background. I’d expect that rects with a center origin would be the exception case, and would be triggered with a modifier key. I see this request has come up in the past. Was it ever implemented? This would be such a huge QOL boost!
Similarly, I wish the Scale tool had the ability to choose your anchor point. E.g., say I want to bump the right side out by 1 inch, I might select my object, open the scale tool, and add 1" to the width (see below). However, instead of pushing out the right side by 1", CC extends both the left and right side by .5", as it’s assuming I wanted to do this relative to the center.
Something like paint.net’s canvas resize tool is a great example of what I’m looking for! I would just select an anchor on the left before entering my new amount.
