chippwalters Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 How can I reset the scale in this group to the original scale? It accidently was scaled in a previous action. I figure there's a way, but I just can't find it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Unless you can Undo the action immediately, I don’t think you can get the software to do it automatically. Once the Group has been resized, the layers within it will also take on their new sizes and they ‘forget’ how they used to be. I think the software knows the original sizes (not what they were before the group resize but the original drawn size) but I don’t think there’s a way for us ‘reset’ the layer sizes (either group size of child layer sizes) back to what they were before the latest resize without doing some manual calculations. I would be interested to know if I was wrong about this as I have come up against the same issue myself from time to time and have resorted to recreating the originals. chippwalters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Raym Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I was looking for this feature too. Scale and Proportion layer reset Anyone has a workarround ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 If you only scaled horizontally on this group, try double-clicking the middle right handle of this group. This does not work, if you scaled in both directions.

X-Raym Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 @Joachim_LI was trying to scale my text layer by a fix percentage on the transform panel, mouse scaling doesnt show any % tooltips and would be less precize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 This should work also if you typed in a percentage in the Transform panel. As said before: Only for width OR height. Not both.

X-Raym Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 @Joachim_L Oops sorry? I was answering to the wrong thread ^^ Double clicking on middle works do resets Proportions, but not original scale indeed. Seems like "original scale" data is lost in the transform process.

X-Raym Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 @haakooIf you are speaking about this This reset text font etc... It doesnt actually rescale my font layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Raym Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 A workarround could be to resize with Live filters but the only one which allows that is perspective. Not as simple cause points are modified one by one but... at least origibal font size is preserved. Simpler: make a copy of the Text layer as backup.

When a Group is resized, the Group's transformation matrix changes, but each object inside the Group retains its original size and its personal transformation matrix. The Transform panel could have an additional pair of fields for the width and height scaling factors of a selected object/Layer/Group/Compound/Symbol just like it already has fields for rotation and skew, by which these factors can be reset.

X-Raym Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Thanks for the vid. Indeed it requires position and aligments manually. But If you have also to redo font and all paragraph settings of a multi lines pragraph with different formats, custom spacement etc, it will be tedious. It will only be usable on simple cases.
