    Default Is there any way to Scale Stroke width in InDesign

    Is there a way to scale stroke in InDesign?

    I've created a logo in Illustrator, and when I take it into InDesign
    for the final design I'm playing around with the sizing as I'm still
    altering the design. I can't find a 'scale stroke' option in
    preferences, so the stroke width is incorrect.

    Can anyone help?

    Hi,

    If you need to alter any elements within the illustrator graphic, you
    need to edit the graphic in illustrator. The stroke pallete in InD only
    applies to elements created in InD.

    If you mean you have put a stroke around the graphic in InD, the only
    way I know of to get the stroke to scale with the graphic, is to group
    it with another item (perhaps a small box with no fill or stroke) and
    scale the two together. This is a bit amateur, but it works.

    hope this helps

    Thought this might be the case, but wasn't sure if I was missing
    something. Thanks!
