DominicJ Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Absolutely love Affinity Publisher but find on a daily basis one tool that I can't find and that is to be able to scale a group by a percentage which would also scale the text in the group. If it was to appear in the transform panel/menu that would be even nicer! Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there isn't a transform or scale option I can find? Perhaps I'm missing something, where would I find this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DominicJ Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 Yes, thank you. I know this, but it doesn't scale the text or pictures within the selection. It works on objects but this is a publishing program which involves lots of pictures and text boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Teljeur Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 In case this helps someone coming here (as I did), there are two solutions: For scaling with numbers in the transform panel: For scaling freehand, the extra handle that is slightly offset: Oufti 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
