Dear Xara...
I switch from web to draughtsman mode relatively frequently.
Unfortunately I forget to toggle the Scale Line Width icon to math what I am working on.
The use of NumPad / to toggle the scaling of a line only works while dragging or when a handle is selected.
This is a perverse way to toggle a feature.
Bug - if scaling is enabled, the Set line width box does not update until the handle is released.
The other boxes all do: W,H, X, Y, scaling, skew & angle.

Dear Xara...
Bug - in the absence of a reply, the Scale Line Width icon does not make sense being in the Infobar Control bar as it is totally associated with the Set line width Box.
Bug - the Scale Line Width icon does not show in the Button Palette.
Bug - the function, Key_TransformDrag_ScaleLines, invoked by the Scale Line Width icon or Select+Drag with toggle NumPad / does not occur when a Tool other than Selector is used. I scale Boxes with the Rectangle Tool.

the scale line width has another function, besides the obvious, but I cannot remember what it is...
this is not what I was looking for, but I commend it as a hark back to how things used to be:

Totally agree, the boss-man engaging. What a refreshing concept.Quote:

Pity, the Object Properties has never materialised.
Pity it was all 14 years and twenty days ago.
