Allow to choose a reference point (pivot / origin) for live shapes
With a Line live shape we can set a length and an angle of the line, using Line Properties section in Transform panel (or Properties).
But there is no way to choose the position of the reference point, these apply always to the middle.
I want to be able to extend/contract or rotate a line from one of both ends.
Same applies to other live shapes, which gets transformed with the dedicated controls always from the center.

But I must admit that it allows changing its width from the middle only. I’d vote for having an ability to choose an end to scale it from :) Also, I think that an ability to change the length of a straight segment of a path can be interesting, right in the middle. But this feels more specific.

What version are you using, mate?
A 'Line' primitive is a thing already, see the image. -

It would be great if there was a section in the transform panel where you could enter a length for a line (instead of setting a height and width for the bounding box).
This way it would not matter what angle the line was draw at, it could be set to a specific length.
I've currently been drawing a vertical line, setting a height and then rotating to the correct angle but it is very tedious!
