newdesigner Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 To resize proportionally text, you cannot hold shift. To resize proportionally shapes, you must hold shift. Pick one and make it consistent. Affinity Designer 1.8.4 for mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Intentional behavior; not a bug. If an object has an inherent aspect ratio, then by default resizing maintains the aspect ratio. If you do not want to maintain it, press Shift. If an object does not have an inherentt aspect ratio, then by default resizing has no reason to maintain one. But if you want the resizing to be proportional to the current aspect ratio, press Shift. If that approach bothers you, you can change the behavior. Preferences, Tools and then set Move Tool Aspect Constrain as you want it to behave. newdesigner, Mark Ingram and Kaffeepause 2 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pšenda Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I once required to change the appearance of the cursor according to whether or not the aspect constrain is maintained so that it is obvious to the user and not so unnecessarily confusing.
