Default option for center of mass, object center, origin, middle point etc.

 Fusion360_2017-05-05_12-53-08.jpg

 

We need a default option for center of mass, object center, origin, middle etc. On example, you cannot pick a pick a point if you want to scale your body from it's origin.

 

So first of all, I would like to improve a scaling from the body from its true center but there also many other areas where you cannot pick a center too.  On example, if you are mirroring anything inside sketch you cannot do it via sketch center, even you can pick a center axis with circular pattern. When a proper 'center point' gets implemented on the apps main level as default then we  would not have to ask for implementation for the each tool inside F3600 tool-set. 

 

Check this post to see how many unnecessary steps we have to do to overcome a basic flaw. 

 

In addition object on the image was created by pulling circle to both sides. So even when you have a sketch in the midst and when your object symmetrical you cannot scale it from the center by default.. From what it seems scale tool does not respect an origin. That's beyond belief! Fusion 360 dev team should try a free trial of Moi 3D to experience how many snapping points you get there by default. You can then use them at any time for any operation, curves, sketch or body does not matter.

Yes.  We need the ability to insert a center point in an object.  

 

Even something as simple as scaling a primitive cube from it's center seems to elude me.
