How do you make selected objects to have the same width or height?

[v_kyr]

I may have overlooked something here or there might be some way I'm not aware of, but how do you assign the same height and/or width to multiple selected objects, according to the size of the first selected object in AD?

Use snapping.

Thanks, already saw that one in a tutorial and thought there might be also some other make equal size allignment method, one which maybe works instead on selected objects, like some GUI Builders do offer for alligning components to equal length/height sizes.

You can use transform panel to set size the same but there is no "transform each" command so you have do it one by one.

Is this still the best method?

I believe manually typing in a width or height while transform each is turned on should automatically make all the objects the same width or height based on what was typed. The current behavior doesn't seem nearly as useful.

To circumvent this I am dragging my images into Figma, which does do this. When multiple objects are selected it lists the width, height, and positions as "mixed". Manually typing a value forces all of the selected objects to scale to that value. I would love to see this in AD in the future.

This is a V2 feature, so it doesn't apply to the OP's question.
