Better transform tool for small objects


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, great work on designer, I'm already being very productive!

Like many other people I would love to see transform tool improved, especially for translations. A lot of the time I am fine tuning positions only of small objects, and it is really hard to do it right now since the scaling handles get in the way. I've got a couple of suggestions to make this workflow better:

  1. For small screen pixel size selections draw a normal blue bounding box, but do not draw the control points for resizing and rotating on that bounding box, but instead offset them away so the selected object is always visible and there is a minimum of 20 pixels in both the width and height of the control handle box (see mockups attached)
  2. Offer a toggle option to lock the size and rotation, and only allow the translation of objects that are selected.
  3. In the transform studio allow for a drag that begins in between the x and y number circles to fine translate in both x and y with snapping.
