CSH Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 +1 This is an essential feature that keeps our work group from switching to Designer and abandoning AI. AI's "Transform each" feature is tremendously useful for scientific figures, for example if you want to increase the size of thousands of data points in scatter plots without increasing the size of the whole plot.

was2be Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 It's been two years... still no action on this critical feature. I just had a graduate student tell me she was going to back to Illustrator CS6 because of the lack of "transform each". As others have noted, there are entire fields (large fields) of potential users for which this is an ESSENTIAL feature. I wonder if the AD developers realize the size of the potential market. If they did, wouldn't they address this key issue (along with "select same appearance") sooner??? Still waiting....

mertyz Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Convert every conversion in this program. now we're looking at a square. We are multiplying the square by 1, which means that the pattern continues. ctrl + j continues proportionally when you do. Affinity Designer Bigger Than Adobe Illustrator.

Staff MEB Posted March 8, 2019 Staff Share Posted March 8, 2019 Hi grapher, "Transform each" was already implemented in the latest Betas. - select multiple objects (Move Tool) click/enable the Transform Object Separately button in the context toolbar and edit/transform the highlighted object on canvas (the one with the bounding box/handles visible). All the other will equally transform in place. Alej and TextusGames 1 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the other will equally transform in place. While the beta functionality is a step in the right direction, what I am looking for is to transform "each" by a specific amount (% scale horizontal and/or vertical, degree rotation, etc.). It can be difficult to do an exact change by eye using the handlebars. To really make this feature great, one would want a "select-by-attribute" function, whereby one could select all objects of a particular color or stroke-size, and then transform them individually by a set amount (scale, rotation, reflection, etc.). I'm very much looking forward to this, as it will end my subscription-slavery to alternative software. Pavo52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayleigh Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 To MEB, I understand that this feature has not been implemented yet in the updates and beta but what I want to know is, WILL this feature be added?? And IF it is possible, when? That really hasn't been answered yet. Definitely listen to your loyal customers though! Thanks, ~Ayleigh☆ Pavo52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can should be able to use an expression such as +=2mm (or just +=2 if the document units are millimetres).

It seems like this should be possible, but it doesn't actually work. If I have one object selected then +=2mm successfully adds 2mm to the existing width. With multiple objects selected and Transform Objects Separately enabled +=2% works just fine. But +=2mm adds 2mm to the last selected object, but scales the others by a percentage (the ratio of the original size of the last selected object, to its new size). I suspect this is a bug or an oversight in the current implementation.

I'm using a trial of the 1.6.5 release now and I don't see this button -- is it implemented in this version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted May 24, 2019 Staff Share Posted May 24, 2019 Hi Codyj, Welcome to Affinity Forums No, this is only available in the upcoming v1.7. There's a Customer Beta available for those who purchased the retail version. You can download it from the respective section/OS from the Affinity Beta Software Forums section on this forum. Here's a quick animated GIF showing how it works: Fixx and Mark Oehlschlager 2 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a quick animated GIF showing how it works: Nice animation of use of the tool. This would be really powerful if "select by attribute" (e.g., by color or other appearance) were also available so that one could select similar multiple objects while ignoring all of the other objects, and then transforming them evenly. I'm still hoping "select by attribute" will be made available (that is the day I kill Illustrator). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
