Specify center of rotation

I tried the plugin Rotate Origin, but I found that to be overly complicated and a bit unintuitive. In an ideal situation I would say it should work something like this:

• Select the object you want to rotate
• Drop a rotation anchor and adjust by dragging it to the exact location you want it to be
• Add a rotation value
• And go!

Oh true! Nice idea, thanks for sharing. I may build this someday. 😅

My kingdom for this feature. Rotating or scaling at a custom origin is vital to vector illustration or graphic creation. If Figma could focus more on stuff like this and improving its vector tools in general I could finally drop Adobe Illustrator.

Please Figma, this is one of the basic editing tasks.

please add this missing feature. can’t believe this is really missing. I don’t need it often but in a few cases it is really annoying not to have it.

I also need this, pls add this feature.

I need this feature, please make this native.

Please add this feature. It’s way past due.

Ha, also creating a Gauge and this is exactly where I landed.

I keep running into these egregious oversights by the Figma developers that have me shaking my head in disbelief. Moving the center of rotation is such a basic and necessary feature, why even call yourself a design tool if you don’t implement some of the most basic things?

(and yet they have cycles to implement janky AI “features”)
