Page resizing

[sgiff]

How do you resize a page dynamically as it says in the new features. I looked in the help but there is no explanation of how to do it, although it says in the new features list that you can just drag on the edge of the page and resize it.

If you hover your mouse over the bottom or right hand side of the page (at the edge of the page and the pasteboard) the mouse cursor changes to the same cursor that you see when you're creating/adjusting guide lines.

You have to be in the selection tool to do it though.

Yeah, I just figured that out, thanks, it's a bummer that you cant resize from a centerpoint on the center of the page as that would be the most logical solution but this is still a nice enhancement.

Is that how you'd expect to resize Windows explorer or application windows too?

Personally I think it's natural to expect to drag-resize the rectangular shape of a page from the edges seeing as this is how everything is drag-resized in Xtreme, shapes, photos, text areas and so on.

as in resizing a circle with the shift key held down?

yes that would be useful - eg: objects in the centre of the page would then stay in the centre of the page - very useful
