priceless Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Question: Is the ability to Scale hidden away somewhere, or is it because A.D. is a Beta, that it is not available? Priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uuiop Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Hi Priceless. If your Designer file contains only 'vector' graphics you don't need to scale it, whether it is to be used on a postage stamp or an A2 spread. This is because the elements are mathematical (vector) rather than pictorial (raster). With raster images (A-Photo) dots per inch and resolution do matter. Naturally your Designer file should be saved in a vector format. Hope this helps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JET_Affinity Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Of course one needs to scale vector graphics. Scalability (without degradation) is one of the defining advantages of resolution-independence.Priceless, Assuming you're talking about numerically scaling a selection (not drawing to a user-defined ruler scale): The field in the Transform panel, labeled "S:" is for Shear (skew), not Scale. To scale a selection numerically, you can enter a multiplication symbol and the desired value (expressed as a decimal) after the existing value in the W: and/or H: fields. I don't know how you make the Shear field shear vertically instead of horizontally.JET Leigh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
