Stroke size increasing on resize of object

[Bob Boisvert]

Hi All,

I've been wondering about this, why is it that if I drag out a circle,
rectangle, or any other shape for the matter and resize it the stroke of
the object increase to 1 from 4? I'm using FWMX, I don't remember this
happening in FW4.

Here's what I do:

Drag out shape
Stroke value=1 (any color)
Resize object in properties panel
POOF! stroke value has increased from 1 to 4 (always to 4)

Any ideas?


Thanks,

[Linda Rathgeber]

Because vectors increase proportionally when resized. Draw a 20 x 20
pixel rectangle and add a 1 pixel soft stroke of any color. Press Shift
and drag the bottom right corner of the rectangle until it's around 177
x 177 pixels. You'll see that the stroke width has changed to 9 pixels
in width.

You can turn this off from the info panel - click on the options icon in the
top right of the info panel and deselect Scale Attributes.
