Hi GarryP - Thank you for such a great demonstration! I could use Symbols in a different way but it does give me a good idea. You see I receive the charts in RTF format then I print to PDF at 300 DPI and edit in Designer, I'm only modifying the data points and not adding them. BUT, what I could do is make each data point a Symbol, in the example below I would have four different Symbols, it would be a bit of work. Thanks again for your help GarryP

Also helpful to use the Layers panel to double check.

AAHHH, that worked! Thank you so much!!!!! 😁

Hi prophet, yes I have played around with the Select options, I can select them OK but what to resize the objects in there present location. The Transform box does not help as seen below.

I have this situation... I have six charts on one page for a total of 60 data points as shown below. I would like to increase the diameter to 2mm how can I go about this, rather than edit each data point individually? I've searched everywhere about doing this task. Thanks

Ah, I'll check that out, thanks for the info. I use a combination of Guides and the Transform function for page layouts, the Snapping is very helpful too. Once the paper is published I'll provide a link 🙂

My apologies Garry, while I was typing out all the different things I have tried I had an idea so I had to edit the post. Always good to learn new tricks and I thank you for your involvement.

yes, I had posted it.

The one I am pointing to is the only one that works.

Inserting screen cap using alternate method.

👍 You guys got me thinking and I figured it out! I read a post on the Forum about this secondary handle which I have pointed to with the red arrow. The dumb part is I just noticed the handle after all this time and it resizes the text along with all other elements. Oh and make sure to turn on Scale with Object in the Stroke Panel

Thanks NathanC, I have found there is no conversion as I had mentioned. Since I need to resize the entire chart I think my only option is to covert text to curves so that the text resizes with the entire chart. Mark

Hello everyone, I have been battling with this issue for quite some time now and have scoured the Forum but did not find my answer. Attached is a chart I am working on in Affinity Designer, (I have eight different charts) the text in the chart are in Text Frames and what I need to do is scale this graphic along with resizing the text. A way around this I found was convert the text to Curves, unfortunately I may still need to change font sizes when it is resized. Another idea I had was to convert the text to Artistic Text, but can't find how to do this. Thanks everyone.
