Parenting item without scaling?

AlienRenders

Is there a way to parent one object to another without having scaling applied? I tried a null node and the scaling from the parent of the null node still applies to the child node.

If it is only about scaling matter ( you will adjust child position ),  may check OFF  "inherit parent scale" about the child object node ,in joint editor.

after that, parent object scale just change child obj center point but not change scale.

And there is option, "Parent in place"  ,  when you Use "Change parent" from Edit>(Object/Figure)>change parent".

When you set child obj, if  "Parent in place" is ON ,   child obj will  not be affected  by  transform value of parent obj, just set it as child with keep current  location value. (translation, scale).   but if it is OFF,   child obj  auto- scale as same as current Parent obj value. then reset local translation. (attach center node to the parent)

to avoid this, you need to set "inherit parent scale"  (joint editor option) OFF, then child obj only change position but keep scale.  

Those two option, "inherit parent scale" in joint editor, and "Parent in place" work related to each other. then you may need to set both option correctly. to get what you need.

Thanks. I'll play around with "Inherit parent scale" some more. I did try "Parent in place". This applies the scaling I'm trying to get rid of. I'll try turning off inherit parent scale.
