This is such a basic feature, I can not understand why Figma is not updating it. so stupid.
agreed! This would be really useful!
Fundamental and sorely missed feature/option
Yes, please add centre anchor points for rotating! 
Would be a nice feature to have! 
PLEASE ADD THIS FEATURE. Thanks
Yeah, this feature is needed, especially where prototyping is key. I require an off center rotation, but when animated it does all sorts of weird movements.
Itâs crazy you canât change the rotation registration point of an object. What?!

I need this
This is an awesome trick. I was fooling around with plugins whit shitty UX, happy I found your post!

Thanks! I kinda wanted to make a plugin for this too. Do you think if a plugin allowed you to specify an anchor point and then put the object in a frame with the center at that point it would work better than plugins you tried? All on-canvas editing, no UI, just simplifying whatâs already possible natively. Or is this also bad UX? 
Itâs tough to make a plugin any other way due to the way plugins work in Figma.
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.
