is there a way to scale interactively from center?

Here's a VE entry I made three years ago on the topic:

VE-102527 "Transform from Center" hotkey needed on more tools (ex. Text Objects)

 

When transforming certain objects by clicking and dragging blue control handles, holding down Cmd causes the anchor point of the transformation to be the center point, which is incredibly helpful. This currently works on:

-Rectangles
-Rounded Rectangles
-Ovals
-2D Symbols

 

This same fundamental ability needs to be added to:

-Text objects (!!!)
-Lines
-Polygons & Polylines (would use bounding box center)
-2D/3D Symbols
-Extrudes & other solids whenever blue handles appear

 

Not only would this be useful but it would also make Vectorworks less "inconsistent" which is a common complaint.
