simple way to scale by percentage?


Recommended Posts

Hi all - just bought Affinity and I am mightily impressed

 

just one thing

 

i work in science and i need, now and then, to scale my results by very precise amounts - e.g. 32.567%

 

i know i can increase or decrease the size of objects , but I want a percentage applied to different sized

objects, or groups of objects...

 

am i missing something??

Hi stuartknoy,

Welcome to Affinity Forums.

Affinity Designer supports math operations in input fields.

So if you want to scale your object a specific amount, just enter *=32.567% (using your example) in the input field.

Another one: use something like *=0.5 or *=50% or even /=2 to reduce the size of the object in half.

You can also use functions like Sqrt(n). Here's a related topic with more info including more functions.
