I added an enhancement request, an option for the scaling feature, described below. Not a big thing, but go vote for 1-3108710082 if you think it'd be handy.
Thanks

*************************
First insert a part into a part that already has some solid bodies and use the "Locate Part" option with constraints to position the new body or bodies. You know the inserted part is not the correct scale, but it is handy to locate the new bodies when you bring it in. All you need to do now is scale the new bodies around a point you so carefully planned to use.
How to do that? The "Scale" feature offers three choices for the center of scaling. Origin? I don't want it near the origin. Centroid? I can't use the centroid when I first position it, as I don't know where it is. Besides, chosing "centroid" will create a different center of scaling for each body, and that is worse than nothing. Coordinate System? Why would I go through all that?
Please let me pick a point in the model, using any of the normal ways of picking a point, even if the point in on a body that is not being scaled. Sure, you can work around it by not using the "Locate Part" option and adding a separate "move" feature. But I think such an option would often be handy.
