Multi object resizing - must be an easier way?

[MPrimavera]

I have this situation... I have six charts on one page for a total of 60 data points as shown below.

I would like to increase the diameter to 2mm how can I go about this, rather than edit each data point individually? I've searched everywhere about doing this task.

Thanks

If your "points" are all actual Shape objects, you could use "Select > Select Object > Shapes". Otherwise, you could tag them all and use "Select > Select Same > Tag Color"

Hi prophet, yes I have played around with the Select options, I can select them OK but what to resize the objects in there present location. The Transform box does not help as seen below.

You'll want to make sure "Transform Objects Separately" is selected in the Context bar

Happy to help.

Also helpful to use the Layers panel to double check.

In addition to the advice above, when you have multiple copies of the same item, that’s possibly an ideal time to be using Symbols (if you have Designer).

See attached video for a basic demonstration.

Hi GarryP - Thank you for such a great demonstration! I could use Symbols in a different way but it does give me a good idea. You see I receive the charts in RTF format then I print to PDF at 300 DPI and edit in Designer, I'm only modifying the data points and not adding them. BUT, what I could do is make each data point a Symbol, in the example below I would have four different Symbols, it would be a bit of work.

 

Thanks again for your help GarryP
