Claudia_Germany Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 When scaling many objects via the Transform palette by entering a percentage, e.g. for the width (50%), the path texts are not scaled as well. It does not matter if the checkbox "Scale with object" is set or not. However, such a scaling, i.e. via the percentage, is very important in order to precisely reduce or enlarge large files, e.g. maps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnyb Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Try the lock children option? Maybe the contents of the path (text) is treated like a child ?

Claudia_Germany Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 Thank you, I just tried that. Unfortunately it did not work. When scaling the texts by dragging them with the mouse pointer, all path texts are scaled as well, but not when entering the percentage in the Transform palette.

Staff Sean P Posted March 9, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 9, 2021 Hi Claudia_D This is currently by design. Frame Text and Path Text actually have two resize handles in the bottom right. The inner most one will just rescale the frame (or path objects) whereas the outer one will also scale the text. The Transform Panel will only ever scale the frame or objects as though you were using the inner handle, so in this case the text will remain unscaled. However I can see the benefit of having the option the text scale when using a typed value, so I'm going to move this over to the feature requests forum.
