zkarj Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I have an art board with a large Symbol on it which I then duplicate in much smaller scale to additional, smaller art boards. If I create a shape inside the original symbol and set a stroke width of, say 20pt, then the stroke width is an actual 20pt on all copies of the symbol, regardless of their relative scale. I was expecting the stroke to be scaled proportionally. The example shows a 45pt stroke on the circle as set in the 1024pt large art board. You can see it is also 45pt on the smaller art boards, pretty much destroying the design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zkarj Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 Silly me! I just spotted the "Scale with object" check box in the Stroke settings pane. Fixed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JET_Affinity Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 The ability to disallow scaling of stroke widths in Symbol Instances is a huge advantage over Symbols in Illustrator. (Also something that should be provided in Illustrator's Brushes.) JET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
