raywalston Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Hi, I created an octagon using two squares and then trimming off the unwanted parts. I have a fill of purple and a stroke of 5.5 pt in white. I duplicated this octagon and made it slightly larger which sits behind the original, to create a border of white, purple and then white again. The problem seems to be when I scale this down the white strokes don't scale and end up being closer to one another eventually eliminating the purple part of the border. Should I just eliminate the stroke and create a border in a different way? I've watched many tutorials and that might have been covered but at this point my brain is a bit fried. thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 In the stroke size/type dropdown on the Context Toolbar with the object selected, tick the box for "Scale with object." raywalston 1 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...
raywalston Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 Thanks so much. I've seen that in the fx window, I don't know why I didn't think of that for the stroke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
