Hi everybody,


Brand new at Figma, I’m trying to scale textboxes as a group, but it just doesn’t work without flattening them into outlines. It just shrinks the textboxes (not the text) and the text just carriage returns, very frustrating. There’s got to be a way to scale a group of text as the are arranged in a group to keep proportions, right?


Having to scale each element of text (and vector etc) is just…not an easy way to design.


Is there a simple answer to this? Thanks!

Try out selecting the text and press K


Then, scale it.
