Circles go square when enlarged in Designer

[Rockette Hill]

I have lots of rings of concentric circles. When I try to enlarge the rings the circles begin to develop corners. How do I keep them circular when I scale up?

Hi @Rockette Hill,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
How did you create some of those circles originally? Any chance you have used the Rounded Rectangle tool to draw a square with the corners set to 100% (looks like a circle) or did you used the Ellipse Tool all the time?

Yes they are created from squares with the corners maxed to make them squares.

You made the circles outoff squares? Why? Why not with the ellipse tool?

However, if you select one of your circles with the Move tool (better select the layer of the circle - will be easier) just hold the Shift key to keep the aspect ratio and drag the circle on the corner of the frame.

I see you have used the Corner Tool to round the rectangles to make them circles (not the Rounded Rectangle Tool as i initially thought). To fix them select each layer individually (those that are developing corners which contain various circles per layer), switch to the Corner Tool, drag a selection marquee around all the nodes, then re-adjust the corners with the Corner Tool until they become circles again.

Thanks. That did work.
