Re: Resize Group of Objects Individually
If you don't group them but put them on a dedicated layer for them, you can use the eyedropper tool to remember the properties and drop the "50%" reduction on to each rectangle. Saving a selection will process them as a group and reduce around the center node from x/y respectively.
The reason you may want them on another layer is that it makes it easy to change them from 100% to 50%. However, if you are doing this to show a customer, I'd make two layers, one at 100%, the other at 50%, that way you can switch visiblity so as to change relatively quickly. However if you are looking for something to display quickly such as a rollover, you'd still be having to preview in browser to get the instant effect.
No, I don't see a way to do it, however you might be able to write a script to do what you want. I'd pose the question to the oberonplace.com forum as there are many there who are very knowledgeable on writing scripts, perhaps there is a way that I don't know about.
Every day's a new day, "draw" on what you've learned.
