Manu R Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Is there a way to scale corners proportionally without having to convert to curves? And why'll I'm at it, how about line thickness? Can that be scaled proportionally without expanding the stroke? Sorry if this has been answered before, it seems such an obvious thing to ask for but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Staff MEB Posted April 30, 2017 Staff Share Posted April 30, 2017 Hi Manu R, 1. No, currently no. You have to convert the object to curves or bake the corners (Bake Corners button in the context toolbar). 2. Regarding line thickness yes. With the object selected go to the width dropdown in the context toolbar and check Scale with object.

Alfred Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 If you scale an object numerically by going to the Transform panel and typing a percentage into the Width or Height control after locking the aspect ratio, you can rescale the corners proportionally by going back to the Corner Tool and typing the same percentage into the Radius control on the Context toolbar.

Not bad. But unfortunately, it doesn't work if your artwork contains corners with different radii. Typing 50% in the input field will set all corners to the same radius which is not what it should be doing IMO.

JimmyJack Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Interesting, 'cuz if you make a simple rectangle or rounded corner rectangle the corner controls are in % or dimensions. And when you resize the object they scale proportionally (or not). Why the dedicated corner tool can't do % and has to be baked is interesting. (maybe the 90º start angle is integral to %??) Or... was the question something different. Like, you have a 500px square with four different corner radii and you want to keep the square at 500px but change all the corners at once by 50%.

Aammppaa Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Ugh! Battling with this in my work today. It is painful. Please can we have proportional corners with the Corner Tool?

cleay Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Bump. Constantly resetting values for corner radii after scaling the object. Current workflow is: - duplicate object - bake corners on duplicate - scale original and duplicate - match corner radii on the original to the duplicate - delete duplicate. Painful.

cleay Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 PixelPest — exactly, but for dynamic corners. The corner tool is amazing (although I have no idea why the 'c' shortcut from the beta was removed), but the set radius does not scale with the object. To ELI5 — if I draw a 100mm square, convert to curves, and add 20mm radius to a corner with the corner tool, then scale the square to 50mm, the corner remains at 20mm radius instead of scaling to 10mm as would be logical. Seems like a no-brainer to me, but hey ho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidbjames Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Agreed with this thread. We need the equivalent of Stroke "Scale with Object" for Corners. Ran into the problem today. velarde and markw 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboJones Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Guys, honestly, this shouldn't be an issue still in 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aammppaa Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Still need this functionality. Current project is full of corners - I thought the corner tool was going to be a blessing, but now it is a curse, having to pick through the design looking for unbaked corners that are screwing everything up The lack of this feature is extra frustrating since the code for proportional corners already exists in the rounded rectangle tool.

markw Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Just to say that whilst no one is entirely sure why the ‘C’ short cut went missing in the recent Designer, it wasn’t given to any other shortcut so it can still be reassigned to the Corner Tool again in Designer’s Preferences.

davidbjames Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Just ran into this the other day. VERY frustrating. Considering the crazy math that must drive this app, the ability to scale dynamic corners proportionally seems easy to implement by comparison. PLEASE FIX!

OpalGraf Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 For me this is also important addition. Please add scaling rounded corners with objects. flc_ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
