constrain aspect ratio

[Reza Saheban]

Hi.
FH MX User
1.When I want to change the size of my object (w or h) here a logo on object
panel,( even when I check "transform as unit" ) it isn't resized equally (no
constrain aspect ratio).
For example now I want to resize the height of my logo .setting h to 8 mm but
when I do that w doesn't change equally. What's your solution?

2.How can I find PMS 296 in FH?

The way I'd do it would be to set up guides for that height and then use
the scale tool or transform handles while holding down the shift key to
resize it to the guides.

Or if you can figure out the amount you want to scale it up then you can
do a calculation in the height and width boxes.

Reza, scaling proportionately is not as easy as it could be, should be, we'd
like it to be ... but it's not impossible. FreeHand's numerical fields
accept equations, so you can use the Transform panel to scale uniformly by
entering:

100*newsize/oldsize

Ian Kelleigh explains it in detail here:

PMS 296 is in the Pantone Solid color libraries, in the Swatches Panel
pop-up menu. Open the library, type in '296' and there you are.
