Tip: Keep Proportions
Posted: Tue Jan 08, 2013 7:34 pm
There are 2 options in the Preferences that will determine how Keep Proportions works in SCAL.
1. "Keep Proportions as default" will auto check the "Keep Proportions" checkbox in the Properties window for all objects created.
2. "Do no keep proportions on Free Transform". if this is checked, then if you use the resize handles to drag to resize a shape on the mat, it will not Keep Proportions (even if the Keep Proportions checkbox is checked). In this case the "Keep Proportions" checkbox in the Properties window only applies if you manually enter numbers for the width or height.
When dragging the handles to resize, you can hold down the Shift key and that will have it keep proportions
