Move closer and away shapes, nodes ecc.. from a central point.

[MindMR]

Hey there, 

As I wrote in the title I need to move 2 shapes closer or farther from a central point in many occasions. I remember I can do that but I don’t find how, can you remind me?

Thanks

@MindMR, to move two nodes towards or away from a central point, select them, activate "Transform Mode" in the context bar, "Ctrl/Cmd + Shift", move one of the two nodes.

Here is what I mean.

Select all Shapes/Objects > 2Finger Hold on screen + Move the center outer edge handles.

@StudioJason In this way I also reshape the form, is there any way to do it without reshaping?

Unfortunately I'm not aware of a method that would allow for this in Designer currently - however I could see an option being added to the Point Transform Tool that would achieve this, so I'm getting this logged as an improvement request with our developers now.

I hope this helps

You can do this using symbols.

Create a rectangular symbol, duplicate it and then mirror left to right the second symbol.
Now what ever you place in the first symbol will be mirrored in the second instance.
