Rescaling problem

[Onis]

Hi! 
 I have a problem with affinity designed on ipad pro. When I try to rescale a more complex pattern, the scaling is weird. I attached a file of this. If anyone has any idea how to fix this, that would be great. 🙂
 (I also posted a reddit topic of this at https://www.reddit.com/r/Affinity/comments/m6bka1/affinity_designer_rescale_problem/)

Do you actually have the file you are using? Can you share it.

[HarryMcGovern]

Yes, have both layers selected.

I just realized the scaling is behaving exactly as it should, and that's how it would work in static pixel image too. :' D 
 I think what I'm looking for is a border, not rescaling. But sure I can export the file with the original pattern etc, which file format would be good ? 

[HarryMcGovern]

It depends what you wa t to use the image for?

Image with border...

Is it possible to convert the border to a separate object? 
 Ideally I would like to create architectural patterns that I could create 3D-objects out of them. for example creating a door like this; https://fi.pinterest.com/pin/13018286412038589/ and bringing it to blender. I have heard it's possible to convert vector art to 3D.
 I do 3d-graphics, but I'm still fairly new to vector graphics, so still testing out what works and what doesn't.

Yes you can.

expand strokes in the Command menu

See in the layers pane...

oh that's great : D
 I am using ipad. I don't see it atm, but if it's on the desktop version, I'm sure it'll be here somewhere/will be brought in ipad too later on. 

 Thank you so much for your help! This was super helpful. 🙂

oh wait, I found it in ipad too now, it was in options -> expand strokes, just as you said. : D Thanks again ! 

[HarryMcGovern]

My pleasure.

You could duplicate smaller shape, subtract one  from larger shape to create a border.
