Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I'm having some trouble trying to get the Gripper to be centered among the selected points as shown in the attached image.

I tried both "Center of Selected" and "User Positioned > Reset Axis".

Here, i just want to use the griper to transform the selected points not the whole thing. If I scale from its current location it won't be a symmetrical operation.

I'm sure I can simply find the center and reset the axis to that, but I thought maybe the gripper would automatically calculate the center point of the selected. Would be easier especially for irregular shaped selections that don't have a line of symmetry.

That started happening around build 1186, not sure which build fixed it but it is defiantly a build related issue.

Well I'm currently using build 1188, but I wasn't aware there is a new build. Do you know where can I download it from?

Thanks!

I suspect you have a polyline in the image where the gripper does not average the additional selected points.

We need to update the gripper logic to support multiple selects from a single polyline. Same for splines I believe.
