    Default aspect ratio button in XP&GD12

    At least in my version when Iii click aspect ratio button it gives no indication if it is on or off, the icon does not change so it is impossible to tell, am I missing something or can that be fixed?

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    Been at the jungle juice Larry?

    Can't say about XP&GD12 but this is what I see in XDPX when I toggle between locked/unlocked:

    Looks like I really botched that title. It should read aspect ratio in XP&GD-16

    Provided I didn't misspell again.

    Larry, ask Xara to consider altering the UI for those icons that toggle: Lock aspect ratio, Snap to objects, Scale line width, Show selection bound handles, etc.

    Our justification is that the images in the icons need two states to depict On/Off more clearly.
    The hint text also needs to reflect the current state.

    As you have found, the UI should not be a distraction to your creative flow.

    Hi, thank you for your feedback.

    We're not planning on making any changes to the UI but it's something we can certainly consider for the future.

    Thanks

    The Aspect Ratio should at least show a locked/unlocked padlock, as per the layers gallery
