[SOLVED] Re-Sizing Problem

Postby Lemonie » Tue Oct 25, 2011 10:01 am

Hi .. I have made a logo for my site but when I drag it to resize it one of the shapes/lines doesn't resize and distorts. I've tried grouping and not grouping but nothing seems to help. I can manually go in and alter all the teeth individually but I would like the logo to be exactly the same on everything whatever the size.

Help please !

Logo attached.

That's strange, because this should work flawlessly. Also, I cannot reproduce it.

Can you specify what version of Inkscape you're using, how you're scaling, and make a screendump?

Hi

I'm very new to this so hope I can answer your questions correctly :shock:

I am using version 0.48.1

I drew the teeth from scratch ..
Firstly a black outline filled in black and grouped together. Repeated top and bottom and then grouped.
Next a dark grey outline drawn with the bezier and placed on top and grouped.
A lighter grey outline (seems to be the problem one) placed inside the dark grey.

Have attached this as this seems to be the problem :?: To re-size I am locking the ratio and then dragging smaller.

The two grey shapes are strokes.

When you are scaling, there are 4 buttons after the word "Affects:" in the tool bar. Make sure that the first (affects stroke) is selected so the stroke will scale when you scale the group.

Thanks .. that has done it. It's simple when you know how, or know somebody else who knows how !!
