Maya scale components by a specific amount?

malcolm

Is this possible in Maya, I'd like to select a couple verts and scale them along x by a specific amount. Can't think of how I could do this except by setting the scale tool to snap to that exact increment. Would be great if you could just type in a value when any of the tools were active.

relative transform should do what you're looking for
(in the status line, by default set to absolute transform)

e: scaling in world space that is
if you're looking to scale in object space you could use the scale mel command to do that for you.

Transform component does what I want, the trick was I needed to be in face mode rather than edge mode.

Apologies for the necro, I came across this while googling for help, here is the solution in case someone else comes across it...
In the modeling toolkit if you scroll down there is a scale settings section, you can use the XYZ section to specify an exact scale value to apply as well as how you wish to apply it (world space, object etc).
