Scale tool, snap point rectangle to line

[jwr.rom]

With the Scale tool, in example A, I can snap the plane to a guide line.
In example B, I fail to snap the point of a rectangle to a guide line.

Am I overlooking something? Or is this not possible with Scale tool?

Example A

Example B

That’s not possible, I don’t really know why but when you scale from the corners the snapping doesn’t works, maybe some developer or someone who knows how does the tool works could explain why the behavior is different. Anyways it’s not something that affects much on my workflow, there are a lot of ways of scaling an object with precision.

Shift (just as an idea that it can… sort of… but…)

For accuracy

Shift

• (first example) Holding [Shift] is not an option, it may easily result in a slightly inaccurate snap on the guide. (the scale corner is on the guide but may widen the rectangle too much or too less)
• (second example) Creating intersections with a diagonal guide prior to using the ‘Scale’ tool snaps the scale corner accuratly to the created intersection, one on each side of the rectangle.
