N0hva Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 The ability to grow or shrink a vector by a defined amount of measurement, ex. pixels, inches, etc. At the moment I have found no option that will do this, and the only way to achieve this is to manually transform it into place, which can be a pain if you are trying to expand a stroke and shrink it inside of a vector, or resize a vector by percentage measurements.

JET_Affinity Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 "Grow" and "shrink" are rather ambiguous. Please explain or demonstrate with a screenshot what exactly you mean. Quote ...by a defined amount of measurement, ex. pixels, inches, etc....or resize a vector by percentage... You can key values into the Transform fields as simple math expressions. For example, suppose the selection has a width of 1.25 and you want it to measure 1.5. You can click into the W field and type "+.25". Or type "*1.2" to scale it by 120%. (It probably accepts the % character, too, but I don't have Affinity in front of me right now.) Quote ...if you are trying to expand a stroke and shrink it inside of a vector... The Stroke panel provides a button labeled "Scale with Object," if that's what you mean. Again, if I'm missing your meaning, please explain. For example, a request to "grow" a path could be a request to have its length change, according to its existing curvature. Also, for clarity, try to use the program's terminology for referring to objects. "A vector" is just a direction with an associated magnitude value.

JRL Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 @Newbie I am also struggling with grow /shrink option. It is in pixel mode and under section. I can only select it if I invert pixel selection but them shrink /growth can be applied to a whole document in stead of individually selected object. Have you figured it out? If you have youtube video ill follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
