Scaling Canvas won't scale correctly

mikesmsproductions — Mon, 18 Jul 2016 22:21:59 GMT

Often, when I try to scale a canvas using the generic Scale tool, it will preview the canvas at the correct size that I wanted but then underscale it once I approve it. I have to exit the Scale tool multiple times for the function to scale correctly. Anyone have this problem?

Not sure if I'm understanding things here, as some words mean many things, as you are new and stuck , here is 2cents,

i take it Canvass, is an inserted graphic file that is used in backgrounds for visual guidance to model from.

Inserting them is a two step process, attach the file, then right click menu on it, to "Calibrate" it. Pick 2 points on the graphic and specify your dimension.

others refer to the drawing window as a canvass so I'm not talking about that.

I have very little use for Scale Tool, (other than to be thinking it would not be advisable with a Canvass as I know it) so will defer to others that use it.

Might help you for now...

Yes that's what I meant. Calibrating. Often times when I calibrate a canvas image, it will size it differently than what I specified and what was previewed. If I attempt to calibrate it smaller than the original size, the resulting size will be smaller than I what was previewed and then too small. If I'm calibrating the canvas larger, then the resulting canvas size will be too large.

Ok, thanks for that, I have not seen it before, and maybe a screencast will help for others that follow this up.

Sorry I can't be more help.

Here's the screencast. It will work correctly if I delete the canvas and then reinsert but no one should have to do that to get a correctly sized canvas once they know how large it needs to be.
