eointf Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Hi folks. I'm very new to Affinity so pardon me if I'm missing something obvious here. I've got a logo that I created in Illustrator and I want to incorporate it into a design I'm making in Affinity. The logo is all grouped vectors and outlined fonts but I've found that when I go to resize/transform that group some of the strokes retain their thickness. (see image for how I want it Vs how it scales) I can work around by rasterising the logo but would like to know a way to retain my vectors. Also, is there a way of transforming by percentage?.. I don't see it. And for a free transform using the corners it seems that holding shift, like in AI, doesn't scale it evenly either. Sorry for the multi-question, hope y'all can straighten me out! Thanks in advance, Eoin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Enable "Scale with object" in the strokes panel for the vectors that are not doing that. (You can select more than one vector layer to do this more quickly.) You can scale by percent in the Transform panel. Enable the lock icon if you want to scale by percent in both X & Y directions. For vector layers, holding down the shift key & dragging the control handles should constrain scaling to retain the X & Y proportions. eointf and MattP 2 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.4.1 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KipV Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 ScheduleR C-R Can I make "scale with object" to be the default so I don't have to select it each time? Quote New Internet Book Project | Another New Website Project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
