"Scaling Tool" (scale stroke weight, shadow effects & corners when resizing)

Ability to scale attributes proportionately. When creating shapes, buttons, or icons within XD sometimes they need to be scaled to different sizes. Currently when scaling these shapes, buttons, or icons created within XD we can no scale some of the attributes proportionately.

As an example I create a container box with a stroke, border-radius, shadow, and paragraph text. If I need to scale proportionately, like say 50%, the stroke, border-radius, shadow, and paragraph text don't scale proportionately.

(Currently using Windows Beta Version: 0.6.8.6)

    XD devs, come on. This request is over 3 years old. XD has become so much more tolerable, what with all the added and refined features, but this one needs to get done.

    I don't know if you understand the issue that we are experiencing or if this is just not a priority. Currently, I need to redo corner values of any object created via the boolean operators. Imaging redoing that for over 60 icons. It's so last year (actually it's so 2016 when this post was initially made).

    Please. Add this to the feature list.

    I was pretty excited to see that we can now scale icons properly with components but unfortunately due to the stroke/corner radius issue still being present, it is still somewhat useless. I hope you will address this soon so we can finally create a proper library of icons in XD to use across our artboards.

    Please :)

    My solution is to copy/paste the art over to Illustrator, then Object --> Expand and expand all strokes. Then copy/paste in XD. The art is still vector but you are able to scale it.

    @All: I think I know how to do it: Just create another group around the icon, and scale the group! Have a great day! :)

    How is this possible. I can't change the size of a few objects / text boxes and keep their proportions?

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    It's kind of ridiculous that my workflow involves scaling things in another Adobe App just to bring it into XD at the right size. Please add a basic scaling tool to XD.

    Hurry up and release some of these basic features, come on Adobe. Get your shit together!

    We need to have automatic scaling for strokes, corners and effect separate of the automatic resize option, because sometimes you don't want to change the relationships within the object but just automatic scaling of the stroke.

    This is such a bad program. Close in a lot of areas to be good, but pitfalls galore

  • Kim Hoffmann commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    yes this is super annoying. It needs to scale proportionally or have the option of outlining the stroke or type like in Illustrator. This is enough of an inconvenience for me not to use XD.
