Power duplicate resizing not as expected

[MichaelMeeuwissen]

When I draw a circle 100px , duplicate him and resize him to 110px then do a power duplicate . I expect the next circle would be 120px the next 130px and so on , but that’s not the case . This happens on the iPad and Mac version

This has been much discussed in other threads. At present we are stuck with a geometric progression, with no possibility to opt for an arithmetic one (even if you use an expression such as +=10, which you might reasonably expect not to be converted into a percentage).

.... and still won't rotate around an altered set point

Hi MichaelMeeuwissen,

As been mentioned this is something already with development, however I've passed your comments on!

I would also like to see this fixed in the Desktop version, or have an option between relative and absolute when it comes to power duplicating. I can't think why relative percentages is the default anyway. It's not a bad effect, but if I want to create concentric shapes spaced evenly apart (which is what I'm trying to do now - duplicating circles, each one 8px larger than previous), it would be possible to do a dozen shapes in a few seconds. As it is now, I have to duplicate, then manually change the size in the Transform panel.

My best workaround is to draw a line of the absolute increment and power duplicate that. then with circles and snapping on, laying them out is still pretty quick. faster than the properties panel for each one! A shitty practice left over from the CAD world of the 90's..

Hope that makes sense?

But this issue has been around for years now.
