psaldari Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 You need to convert the text to curves: Layer>Convert To Curves But if you convert the text to curves, its not editable anymore. Personally when I made a project with text I duplicate it, one file is with the text editable (for changes and possible corrections) and one is all vector (good for scaling, sending to others or for external printing).

Staff MEB Posted May 4, 2015 Staff Share Posted May 4, 2015 Some objects must be set to scale with the object, otherwise they will keep their original dimensions (like strokes for example). In the case of your example you also seem to have used a Frame text. To make it scale with the rest of the elements you have to select all the objects and then use the control that's on the lower right of the bounding box (the lowest) to make the text scale with the object (otherwise it will just reflow the text inside the text container). Can you post the file, so i can check what else may need adjustments?

Staff MEB Posted May 4, 2015 Staff Share Posted May 4, 2015 Any chance you can provide a dropbox link or similar? Or alternatively simply duplicate the document (keep the original with your current dimensions) and then reduce the copy to half the size in Document Setup.

M4RCK3 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 how come whenever i resize the whole design... it seems to destroy the image... the details are gone, strokes will stay the same as the original size so when you try to resize the image to smaller dimensions some of the design won't change.. am i doing something wrong... this thing don't happen on illustrator..

Staff MEB Posted May 6, 2015 Staff Share Posted May 6, 2015 Hi M4RCK3 Thanks for the file. Here's what you have to do: - select the White background group in the Layers panel (parent layer), then on context toolbar click on the width drop down and check Scale with object. This will set all all strokes to scale with the object. - select ALL the layers (and sublayers) that have an FX applied one at a time, click once on the FX icon on them, and check Scale with object on the bottom left of the dialog for each one. Currently there's no way to set this for all at once. After those changes it should scale correctly. If not it's probably because you still have one of the FX's with Scale with object unchecked. Sorry for the trouble. Let me know if you still have problems. Maybe we should have Scale with object checked by default for all objects. It's what users expect most of the time.
