abra100pro Posted February 10, 2022 Posted February 10, 2022 Hello, please see video - for the sake of forum search: Artboard handle does not resize all objects. ADArtboard.mp4 Quote
walt.farrell Posted February 10, 2022 Posted February 10, 2022 On Windows I don't have that extra handle; just the normal 4 handles attached to the Artboard bounding box. So I have no idea what that handle should do, or why it's there. However, I suspect you have Lock Children enabled in the Move Tool's Context Toolbar. Uncheck that option, and the children should resize with the Artboard.

abra100pro Posted February 10, 2022 Author Posted February 10, 2022 @walt.farrell - genius! Thanks, that was it. You sure know this extra handle that considers Font sizes and stroke widths - very convenient to get a 100% 1:1 resize of what you see. I'm not sure but I think they are rather new in AD (Mac?...). However - lock children was the problem. I think this "lock children" thing is not very elegant - one might have a look at Adobe XD does handle this (masks, so to say) - state of the art! Quote
abra100pro Posted February 10, 2022 Author Posted February 10, 2022 Hmm, I don't get the idea of it all - sometimes extra handles, sometimes not, there may be a deeper logic in it but I have no clue. Some words to clarify this? ScreenFlow.mp4 Quote
Alfred Posted February 10, 2022 Posted February 10, 2022 20 minutes ago, Hens said: Any vector shape can be used as textframe by clicking on it which makes it a textshape. An artboard is a vector shape and can therefor be converted to a textshape. (see https://affinity.help/designer/English.lproj/pages/Text/shapeText.html ) That extra handle is part of the textframe and somehow also get's to be part of the artboard.(bug?) Why is that a bug? You’ve pointed out that a text frame has that extra handle, and you’ve explained very clearly how an artboard can be converted to a text frame, so it seems logical that an artboard should acquire an extra handle when converted.

Wosven Posted February 10, 2022 Posted February 10, 2022 It doesn't need to be converted. The handle appears when there's text inside. It allows you to resize text or not while resizing the Artboard. Alfred 1 Quote
Wosven Posted February 10, 2022 Posted February 10, 2022 It's not a bug, it would be if we had no options to resize the text proportionnaly, or only the option to not resize the text, when resizing an artboard. Quote
