    Fantastic! I knew it had to be easy! Thanks to both of you!

  2. Re: how to? changing width or length independently with mouse

    Thanks - I tried that before I posted my question. I probably should have included that. Sorry. It isn't working. I created a short video to show what I'm seeing.

  3. how to? changing width or length independently with mouse

    I am using Designer Pro version 21.5.

    I have a bitmap of a small tree. I'd like to drag it so that it is longer without it becoming wider, too. Is there an easy way to do this?

    Thanks.

    Thanks a lot, both of you! I figured there had to be a simple way.

  5. distributing objects around another object in DP X

    Is there an easy way to distribute, say 20 objects, around another object, sort of like distributing chairs around a table?

    Thanks.

    Re: DESIGNER PRO 16 !

    So - i just bought v15 a couple of weeks ago. I now really wish I'd waited a month to get v16. My timing wasn't optimal.

    Re: flipping and mirroring a bitmap

    Scotty - those tools don't work for me. That's the problem!

    Here's a short video demonstrating what I'm experiencing.

    I can, of course, use another tool to do...

    Re: flipping and mirroring a bitmap

    Boy - I'm not sure what you mean. I paste a bitmap onto a Designer Pro canvass and then click to select it. Then I try the flip/mirror tools with no effect. I can rotate the bitmap; I can resize and...

    flipping and mirroring a bitmap

    I must be missing something obvious. In an Designer Pro X10, I could click the Flip or Mirror buttons and my bitmap would flip (vertical) or mirror (horizontal). In Designer Pro X15, clicking these...

    Re: resizing bitmap question

    Sadly, I'm still not getting it, and feeling pretty stupid.

    Pressing or holding down Alt key doesn't do anything for me. All I can do is resize both height and width or I can crop. That's it....

    Re: resizing bitmap question

    Not that it's a big deal, but on my machine, it's the Shift key, not the Alt key that enables me to do what I want. I have no idea what's making it different from your experience. But I'm good. :)

    Re: resizing bitmap question

    OK - I figured it out. With Smart Transform turned off, there are handles within the frame handles, associated with the bitmap itself. When I hold down Shift (not Alt), I can resize width or height...

    Re: resizing bitmap question

    Holding down Alt doesn't change the behavior. I either resize both height and width together, or I end up cropping the image.

    And I'm assuming that disabling the Smart Transform is with the Lock...

    resizing bitmap question

    I just purchased DP X (15.1) and it is behaving differently from the earlier version. I'm hoping what I was able to do in the older version I can do in DP X.

    Simple example. I have a coin - say a...

    Live Effects in DP X365?

    I'm giving Designer Pro X365 a trial to see if I want to upgrade.

    Live Effects appears to be missing, or rather, I can't find
    it. I don't mean the icon on the toolbar. I mean that when
    I click...
