h_d Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Hi, According to the help topic Transforming Objects, under "To transform a selected object about a specific point", using the Point Transform Tool: While using the tool, the Transform panel changes functionality to report distances (ΔX, ΔY), scaling percentage (S) and angle (ΔR) pertinent to the current transform. As far as I can see, the panel does indeed change, but the distances, scaling and angle are not updated: they stick stubbornly to zero. The tooltip does update, but doesn't display the delta values.

walt.farrell Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I see that same behavior on Windows. Apparently, though, the Windows version of Affinity's Help has not yet been updated to include the information you quoted. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Ben Posted April 26, 2019 Staff Share Posted April 26, 2019 This is by design - the panel doesn't show the transform of the object when in the Point Transform Tool - it only allows you to input deltas to apply a transform about the transform origin. You'll notice also that if you enter a value into this panel, it will reset to 0 after the transform is applied.

h_d Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 Thanks Ben. Maybe the help file needs modification, as the Transform panel does not 'report' these measurements. While using the tool, the Transform panel changes functionality to report distances (ΔX, ΔY), scaling percentage (S) and angle (ΔR) pertinent to the current transform.

Staff Sean P Posted April 26, 2019 Staff Share Posted April 26, 2019 Hi h_d, The documentation is wrong and is something that I picked up very recently when going through the Help. So this is something that is already with Documentation to be fixed. Thanks for letting us know! h_d 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff acapstick Posted November 19, 2020 Staff Share Posted November 19, 2020 Apologies - Docs here - we missed this but it's now fixed in 1.9 beta. Now using... "While using the tool, the Transform panel changes functionality to allow you to enter distances (ΔX, ΔY), scaling percentage (S) and angle (ΔR) in relation to the current transform origin."
