Power duplicate resizing not as expected


Recommended Posts

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).

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.
