Hello all.

 

I am having trouble when I resize a vector by changing its width or height in the properties panel and its aspect ratio is locked.

 

I have a vector shape that has a width of 100, and a height of 22.6. When its aspect ratio is locked and I change its either its width or its height in the properties panel to a whole number, it will change the other property to the nearest whole number, rather than to the nearest two decimal places like it used to do with the old constrain proportions button, which either stretches or shrinks the shape in one direction and not the other, changing its proportions.

 

Does anyone know if there is a reason for this that I am not understanding, or a way around it? Or could it be a bug? I’m finding it a little frustrating that the proportions of my shapes are being changed when it didn’t use to do this.

 

Thanks for your help.

Hi there,

 

Thanks for reaching out. Could you please check whether the “Snap to pixel grid” option is disabled? 

 

Disabling it should keep the number unrounded, as you’re seeing.

 

Please let me know if I’m misunderstanding anything—I’m happy to take another look at this!

 

Thanks,
Toku

Thank you for your reply.

 

I did have ‘Snap to pixel grid’ enabled and disabling it has fixed this issue for me.

 

I imagine there is no way currently to keep the benefits of ‘Snap to pixel grid’ for general movement of objects and frames around the canvas but keep it disabled just for the ‘Lock aspect ratio’ feature?

It would be nice if we were able to customise the grid in that way as it is useful to move objects around the canvas on the pixel grid and also constrain an objects proportions to the highest precision possible, without a change of settings 🙂

Thanks for your help!
