constraints not working

[Corrado]

needed to scale an object consistently with the artboard but it just mess up the object

Hi @Corrado,

I'm sorry to see you're having trouble. My sincerest apologies for the delayed response here, as we have been closed over the holidays!

It would help to see a copy of your document, as I believe this may be related to your stroke setting (Scala con oggetto) for these curve objects. Could you please provide a copy of this .afdesign document for me?

Many thanks in advance

The white object is scaling correctly according to the constraints that you have specified. The four distance constraints are locking each of the object's bounding box edges to an inflexible distance from the corresponding edge of the container's bounding box, and that takes precedence over any other constraints.

There is no need for constraints when you want an Artboard's content to scale with the Artboard. Simply disable Lock Children in the context toolbar of Move Tool and then scale the Artboard.

Thank you, I couldn't understand the hierarchy of constraints.

Removing all constraints to the artboard and setting only the object's worked perfectly.

Thank you

No need to be sorry I worked my way around it in the meantime and @anon2 gave me the right advice. Don't know if it's the only way it works but I'm gonna look deeper into the constraints to understand its dynamics better
