Affinity Designer: addressing objects within a group individually

[MSLDAff]

My question is: Say I have a group of lets say 40 rectangles. Is it possible to set them all to a similar width and height in a short way, or do I have to go through every rectangle and insert my width and height?

Many thanks for your answer!

If you want to make them all the same size, select them all, then with the Move Tool active you'll have a button on the Context Toolbar to "transform objects separately" that should let you do what you want using the Transform Panel.

Did you try this with rectangles (or any shape) that initially have different sizes? This will not set them all to the same width & height, only change each of them by the same amount.

I thought I had, but I did not try it again, so perhaps I'm misremembering.

Thanks for mentioning it, R C-R.
