Transform group but individually?

[tbeaulieu (Todd)]

Hi! In vectric, I can select a bunch of vectors and transform them individually. Say… to .25, or by 50%.

I have not figured out how to do this in LB.

For instance, all of the green layer to a specific diameter.

If you’re trying to make them all the same use the make same tools.

@tbeaulieu

all of the green layer

In additon to @thelmuth’s suggestion, you can easily select all the shapes in the active layer:

Selection Tools - LightBurn Documentation

So you’d:

• Click-to-select one of the circles as usual
• Adjust its size with the Numeric Edits toolbar or Shape Properties
• Select all the circles in the layer
• Hit the Make same width / height tools

However, read the note about how that tool decides which single shape to use as the reference:

Holy cow. I was entirely unaware of those two buttons!

Thanks!

Holy buttons, Batman…

I’ve felt dumb before when I’m jumping through hoops to do something and find the wizards already have a single button to do it.

I will say that I much prefer Vectric’s “Scale Individually” check box when transforming. It’s easier, quicker and more intuitive, IMO.
