Resizing an object to adapt to another object proportionally. How?

Hi, thanks much for reading! Long user Illustrator but I realized that I don't know how to do something very basic. I want to resize a group of objects to adapt to another object, without using the units of pixels or cm (all the vectors/parent). Here is a short animation showing what I want to do [click the first image to see animation]

As you can see, it is impossible to say when you have reached the correct place, because it is not in line with the other object when you use the resize tool.

(2) select the object to scale, set up the scale tool, click on the upper left corner to maintain, and then drag the lower right up to him, commented to show the way, and then the Smart Guides will tell cross when you are there, on the right of the context object path segment.

...

Ah ha, so, the Smart Guides like now Shift!  Because now with Shift will remain not the point to be broken under the cursor, and it won't work. I guess they have developed smart guides to work without using all the other constraints. It also works if you drag right to the edge and after the intersection with her along the edge where it intersect with the diagonal of the object to scale - it may be preferable for the amounts small scale where the smart guides label hiding the diagonal line. And I guess that the eye may be good enough for most cases.

Also, when I tried it it did not for me, because in the Smart Guide preferences section transform tools were not verified. Maybe it's my settings, but I can never remember to turn it off, it can be turned off by default.

Good tip, Jacob! Thank you

  • I can't resize any object inside a tab control and control of the tab itself

    Hi all

    Since this morning I noticed that I can't always resize the object placed inside a tab control or the control tab itself.

    I have a few objects (controls, indicators, etc.) outside of the tab control, and they are resizable (I can see the dark blue squares and I am able to adjust the object); Instead, any object inside the tab control is still not resizable (when I select the dark blue boxes are not visible and I can't access the properties of the object by clicking with the right button of the mouse over it). If I have access to the properties of the object to the block diagram, the appearance of her-> frame size is gray and I can't change the size fields.

    It seems that something was changed when I try to adjust the minimum window size and appearance of windows in the proposals of VI, but I restore the previous values...

    How can I solve this problem?

    Sure, tab control is not locked.

    If the tab control is locked that resize is not possible

  • Resize an object: ALT + CMD + SHIFT does more work in CC15 mac?

    Hello

    Before, in CC14, when I wanted to resize an object or a group of objects by keeping its proportions, I simply used the keys CMD + ALT + SHIFT while I resize the object with one of their corner. (with my mouse)...

    Now, I've just updated to CC15 and this function no longer works?

    I have to configure something in preferences to retrieve this basic function?

    Thx for your help! I lose a lot of time without this basic function...

    It is almost always caused by third-party software that you are running. A common problem are extensions of browser that are striking strikes. Restart your computer and run InDesign before any other program, and it will probably work fine.

    If it does not create a new user on your computer and run InDesign from the new user.

  • How to resize an object and show on stage

    Im trying to resize a simple object according to what dimensions I set, but it does not work.

    so now the stageHeight and width is 600 x 600 and it still does not work.

    And how do I resize the object immediately when the SFW load (so early, it will be 3 times bigger)

    I have a MainClass with this code

                            public var  rescaleRatio:Number = 1;
                    public var _element1:CreateRow_Col

                    public function MainClass_Test() {
                    addEventListener(Event.ADDED, init);
                    _element1 = new CreateRow_Col(rescaleRatio)
                    addChild(_element1)
                    }

                    public function init(e:Event):void{
                               stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
                                 stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
                                 stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, setUpScreen);
                    }


                    public function setUpScreen(ev:Event):void{
                              stage.removeEventListener(Event.RESIZE, setUpScreen);
                              if(stage.stageHeight > 500){  
                                        rescaleRatio = 3;  
                              }else 
                                        rescaleRatio = 5;  

                    }

    and the CreateRow_Col class has this

    public class CreateRow_Col extends Sprite {

                    public var theAppliedScale:Number;
                    public var myObject:BG = new BG()

                    public function CreateRow_Col(reScalling:Number) {
                              theAppliedScale = reScalling;
                              addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, zzz);
                    }


                    private function zzz(e:Event):void {
                              removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, zzz);
                              myObject.scaleX = myObject.scaleY = theAppliedScale
                              addChild(myObject)
                    }

    Copy the following code and paste it into your document class:

    package {}

    import flash.display.MovieClip;

    import flash.events.Event;

    SerializableAttribute public class MainClass_Test extends MovieClip {}

                            public var  rescaleRatio:Number = 1;
                        public var _element1:CreateRow_Col

    public function MainClass_Test() {
                        addEventListener(Event.ADDED, init);
                     
                        }

    public function init(e:Event):void{
                                   stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
                                     stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
                                     stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, setUpScreen);
    setUpScreen(null);
                         }

    public function setUpScreen(ev:Event):void{
                                  if(stage.stageHeight > 500){ 
                                            rescaleRatio = 3; 
                                  }else
                                            rescaleRatio = 5;

    }

     if(!_element1){ _element1 = new CreateRow_Col(rescaleRatio);                    addChild(_element1)} else {_element1.zzz(null);  //<-make zzz() public in your other class.}

    }

    }

    }

    Kind regards

    Koko Fiko,

    You can open the view drop-down list and check out the edges and Bounding Box (both must hide, indicating the possible action, implying that are displayed).

    According the description I'm not sure who can apply.

  • How to resize an object?  CS4

    When I use the scale tool, it is not scale proportionally (relatively).  The object becomes larger or longer, etc.

    When I hold down the SHIFT key to make, it does not at all help.  What is the secret of a scaling object proportionally?

    Thank you?

    In fact, you said "scaling tool", I did not notice that I'm sorry, the method I would use (and described) is using the standard black selection arrow and the object's corner points.
