Lock stroke width when scaling?
Hi,
Is there a way to make the stroke width of a shape remain constant when I scale the shape?
I find it frustrating that my stroke widens as I enlarge and thins out as I shrink the shape.
Thanks
If you are using the layer scale that's expected since you are scaling everything in the layer.
The easiest way to get what you want is to use the "Transform Control Points" option for Scaling the shape.
-Switch to the edit points tool and select all the control points in you shape.
-From the Edit Menu select"Transform Control Points". This will allow you to rotate and scale the control points. Make sure you have all of the points selected.d
-At this point you can animate the scale (or rotation) for the shape and the width of the stroke will stay the same.
-Use this for all the scales you need to do with this layer.
Remember, as soon as you scale the shape at the layer level you will alter the width of the stroke.
