Zed Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Hi, I a semi-new user to AD and still learning, so far I'm REALLY happy with the tool, makes life so much easier. But still, I have a Problem, where you might be able to help: I'm using AD to post process plots from matlab and gnuplot for publications. Currently I've got one, where the symbol size of some scatter data is little too small and I would like to increase the size of (100+) point symbols (little squares) by factor two, while keeping each one at its original position - like a swarm operation. Selecting all and resizing does increase their individual size but moves them proportionally - this does not help at all. How do you do an individual transformation operation on a swarm of objects. Rotating all by 45 deg would be something I will need in the future as well. Then again, I don't want the cloud to rotate but each individual one to do the spin. Appreciating your help.

Staff MEB Posted December 3, 2015 Staff Share Posted December 3, 2015 Hi Axel, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Currently this is not possible. As you found out all objects will scale proportionately or rotate around a single reference point. I would add this to the Feature Requests section to be considered for a future version.

Zed Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 Thank you. For now I found a "dirty hack" on how to do it: increase the stroke width, set hard joins and select "draw behind fill", while choosing a white fill for the squares. Gives the correct impression, while for sure not the perfect solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted December 3, 2015 Staff Share Posted December 3, 2015 Smart workaround :) Glad to know you've sorted it out. Still those would be great additions to the software.
