How to keep 1D shapes aspect ration
After converting 2D shape to 1D shape the aspect ration protection stops
functioning. I downloaded some staencils that have picture as 1D shape that this function remains. Any body know how to make it happend. |

Any body know how to make it happend. How can a 1D shape have an aspect ratio, it only exists in one dimension. -- Regards, Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd.

How to keep 1D shapes aspect ration
You have to force the aspect ratio. First, determine what it should be:
height/width. Then, open the shapesheet. In the Shape Transform section, set the value cell for height to be Width*aspect ratio, where aspect ratio is the number you established above. This slaves the height to be a function of the Width. That should do it. (Technically, 1-D shapes don't have aspect ratios, but, technically, your shape isn't really 1-D, just behaves that way.) Hope this helps. Wapperdude "אהוד" wrote: After converting 2D shape to 1D shape the aspect ration protection stops functioning.

How to keep 1D shapes aspect ration
I just took a look to see how Altima keeps there shapes in the correct
aspect ratio. It's pretty much the same technique that WrapperDude was discussing. In there case they have a 'scratch' section in the shapesheet with the original height and width saved in the X and Y columns. They then put formulas into the width and height cells of the Shape Transform section to keep the correct aspect ratio. Width=SQRT((EndX-BeginX)^2+(EndY-BeginY)^2) Height=GUARD(Width*Scratch.Y1/Scratch.X1) al "WapperDude" wrote in message ... You have to force the aspect ratio.
