Arcane Vector Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) Hello Not sure if this post belongs in the section, but for some reason I'm having issues scaling objects in designer, even when ticking scale with object. I noticed this when creating a square background for a phone icon which I was creating based on a youtube tutorial and went to scale the finished icon to put in my mock up. But the Square keeps turn into a circle not matter what I do e.g. Shift or Shift + Command. Scale with object IS enabled but still doesn't work. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or this is a bug Tutorial mentioned Edited January 2, 2019 by Kev-Affinity Better description Bit Disappointed 1 Quote
firstdefence Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 You would need to click: Bake Corners to prevent the rounded corners from maintaining their dimensions, the corners would then scale with the square size. Not sure why the tut didn't just use a rounded rectangle, that would have been much simpler.

firstdefence Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 Change the title of the post to reflect the question, this helps with people searching the forums for answers. I would suggest something like "Corners don't scale when resizing shape" Arcane Vector 1 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

Arcane Vector Posted January 2, 2019 Author Posted January 2, 2019 Thank you for your feedback much appreciated! Not sure why they didn’t use round rectangle. But when I tried to use one when I was trying to figure out what was wrong initially. Copying/pasting the shape and changing the size of the highlight and shadows didn’t work because the shape became distorted. But I guess this can be fixed with baked corners? Quote
firstdefence Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 Within the layer fx window there is a small check box at bottom left: Scale with Object.

Jens Schmidt Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 Why do you have to bake the corners, that kind of destroys their purpose Well, since I do not have any choice, how do I select ALL corners in my composite object and bake ALL corners at once? Quote

I succeeded in selecting all corners: Selected all objects using alt+drag (move tool). Changed to corner tool. Selected all their corners using ctrl+A. Clicked 'bake corners' button. Now I have a similar problem with fx, I need to tick the 'scale w. object' box on a bunch of objects... ziplock9000 1 Quote

Could it seems be a nesting bug!? These objects seem unaffected by the 'Select All' method I used above: Layer > Layer > Layer > Group > Group > Object Quote
Bit Disappointed Posted November 10, 2023 Posted November 10, 2023 I had to convert some shames to curves to scale some objects when pasting an object in another illustration - very silly now that I had ticked scale with object on both stroke and FX and THEY were scaled correctly. Quote I simply no longer believe that there are any professional graphic designers here. Everything follows suit. Just everything.
