grid snapping while scaling?

Super newbie question: I can't seem to figure out how to snap to the grid while I am scaling things. It works find with the move tool, but I'm not having luck with the scale tool. I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but can't seem to find information on this. Your help will be appreciated, thanks.

As to my knowledge, you cant snap to grid when scaling. I think its only for moving objects. I may be wrong.....but Ive never snaped to grid when scaling....

same here. I don't think it can be done. Lord knows why they haven't implemented such a feature into Maya yet because it would really help.

i dont think you can do it. but it would be helpfull if snap to grid was accessable to more features. I think a rotate/snap to grid would be personally very helpful.

but FYI:
if u click on a channel in the channel box on a scale attribute and hold CTRL and middle mouse drag, it will contrain the channel u highlighted, and only scale other two left unhighlighted.
that's a cool feature... when modeling

you can create a plane, match the sections with the grid, place it just at the grid height, make it a template, and then you can snap to that while you scale?
