Enable Edit Scaling Origin Point in Direct Edit and Ability to Use Work Points

In Inventor 2020, Direct Edit allows you to choose an origin point for scaling an object. Unfortunately, work points cannot be used to choose the origin, or any other arbitrary point, so if you want to scale about the origin, you have to put an object there with a vertex at the scaling point. It would often be less work if you could just use a work point.

 

It would also be useful if when editing a direct edit, you could edit the location of the scaling point. Currently 'Locate' is greyed out when editing a direct edit scale.
