Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 17.1.0.60486 - scale using info bar broken?

[JasonG]

Hi all,

I have just updated to the latest Photo & Graphic Designer 17.1.0.60486 - and now scaling using the infobar appears broken.

Previously, I just entered a percentage value and the object would resize accordingly.

Now - I enter a value and the object does not resize - instead it changes position on the screen. This is very frustrating and makes this update unusable for me.

I have tried toggling the scale line widths button but this does not change the result.

Any help appreciated, very disappointed in this latest release to offer great new functionality and break something fundamental (at least as it appears to me).

Jason.

HI Jason. I'm failing to reproduce this. Entering a value within the scale width of height fields continues to work for me, the selected object is scaled. The position changes if i enter a value within the X or Y coordinate fields.

Further to bb2's comments it may be that the objects origin is outside the object, which does create a movement of the object although it is also resized correctly. Ensure you have the objects origin set to centre.

The new Centre of Rotation (CoR) approach doesn't affect the scaling in XDPX.

I just did a test.

I created an object and then moved its origin of rotation to a position outside the object.

Scaling the object with the mouse using the bottom right corner blob does not result in the object being moved.

Scaling the object by entering values directly in the inforbar W and H fields does result in the object being moved.
