Resizing SCUT2 Projects

Post by sugarcakes2 »

I do a lot of paper piecing projects. When I have all the pieces laid out on different pages it is hard if I want to make the project a different size. For example I have a Mr. Potato head. I may want to make it for a card and/or for a poster. It would be nice if I could input a percentage and have the selected objects resized by that amount, or be able to resize all the objects on all the pages at the same time without going through and selecting each object, doing the math and resizing them individually.

See this post as I think it answers your question. There is a lot of confusions beteen layers and pages. I just use layers, but who am I :P

There is a resize by percent. It is in the menu under Object/Transform/Scale. The is a drop down box next to Scale that defaults at "dimensions". Change that to Percent and resize. I use layers rather than pages so I'm not sure, but I think you will need to do each page separately. HTH

Thanks for the responses. I did not know that you could select multiple objects at a time to scale. I can do each page separately, I don't want to mess with turning layers on and off to cut. Since I can only cut one color at a time I prefer to have it laid out that way. It's so convenient to just put in the color of the tab and cut without extra effort.
