welm Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Two problems that, for use of Affinity Designer in technical illustration, I would like to see resolved: 1) What is the best way to scale (resize) an object, say up or down a certain percentage? Do you have to do the math and enter new values in the width/height edit boxes in the Transform studio panel? 2) What is the best way to move an object a certain distance in a certain direction? Again, do you need to do the addition/subtraction and enter the calculated values in the X/Y boxes of the Transform panel? Thanks for assistance!!

toltec Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Just enter 120% in the W or H box and it will scale to 120%. (make sure the link button is on so it scales in both directions). In the Y box, enter y-20 to move it 20 pixels up, or y+20 to move it 20 pixels down. Remember, if you click on the View Tool (the Hand) you can change document units on the Context Toolbar. firstdefence 1 Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions.
