philmarklew Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hi, When using Affinity Designer I've noticed that in some cases you need to hold the shift key when resizing an object in order to retain the aspect ratio, however at other times the aspect ratio is automatically locked and you don't need to hold the shift key. This seems completely random to me but I'm sure it isn't. Could someone explain when the shift key is needed and when it isn't? Thanks Phil philbirnie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 15, 2016 Staff Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hi Phil, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) You can choose the behaviour you want in Affinity Preferences, Tools section, Move Tool Aspect Constrain dropdown. By default Affinity keeps the proprotion of objects that possess an intrinsic aspect ratio, like text and images - Automatic (based on selection) option - without the need to press Shift. kit_cath and philbirnie 1 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
