If I have one object selected then +=2mm successfully adds 2mm to the existing width. With multiple objects selected and Transform Objects Separately enabled +=2% works just fine. But +=2mm adds 2mm to the last selected object, but scales the others by a percentage (the ratio of the original size of the last selected object, to its new size). I suspect this is a bug or an oversight in the current implementation. >> just moving here... transitdiagrams and Aammppaa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted April 18, 2019 Staff Share Posted April 18, 2019 Hi grapher, Thanks for passing this on - I've passed this over to development now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Ben Posted May 2, 2019 Staff Share Posted May 2, 2019 This is actually by design. The transform it creates internally is a relative scaling. It then simply applies the same transformation to the other objects. It uses the same process as when dragging the scaling handles. We'd have to add another feature in order to allow for absolute size changes.

It’s similar to the problem of not being able to set ‘power duplicate’ scaling to use absolute values instead of percentages (e.g. to draw a set of concentric circles where the diameter of each one is 2mm greater than the previous one).

JET_Affinity Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Quote We'd have to add another feature in order to allow for absolute size changes. It would be worth it. First, it would be a functional advantage over Illustrator's Transform Each dialog. There have been user requests about this and similar omissions for years on Illustrator's user forum. One of the annoying things about Illustrator is that some of its modal dialogs provide percentages, but not fixed values; others vice-versa. Some of these are obviously due to a feature being added, without updating a similar long-preexisting feature. Second, it would makes further use of Affinity's superiority in using math expressions in value fields. JET Mithferion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tupaia Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I vote for a resizing in absolute values for each selected object, too. Just makes sense, and would be consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
