  @Boldline Group the whole selection, and then scale it.

  @Boldline Regarding the pasting of styled text: A separate 'Paste and Match Style' command in the Edit menu might be better than another entry in Preferences.

  @VectorStyler Thank you I know already that Symbol would also work to create a Pattern Brush. But forgot to mention it in my Post above.

  @Jayanta-Das There is no special command to save it as a template. Just save it as a regular vstyler file and then use New from Template to select it.

  Here why i came to this question. First Because of the shear amount of options "Find/Replace" seems to already have. But i dont know, how to use any . . Second Most steps seem to be already possible in VS. But only manually. Resizing Objects: I like resizing via Alignment Size because it will align the Size from any Shape to any Shape (works also with blended Shapes, i use blend often to get a bunch of colors or sizes) Here a Video: . . Change Shapes: I use the Shape Picker Tool, could also change Sizes (works also with blended Shapes) Also a Video her:

  @VectorStyler Thank you for considering this idea. Perhaps a modifier key and a right-click? Currently right-click brings up a node menu when nodes are selected. Maybe modifier key + right-click brings up a little menu showing the all the selected nodes and maybe the user can click to check them off or on? Nodes would be sorted from last to first, top to bottom? I am sure you or others may have a more elegant solution, just trying to help ...

  Grouped items with lowered opacity shows as 100% - should that be the case?

  @Ingolf said in Grouped items with lowered opacity shows as 100% - should that be the case?: A good rule of thumb is that when there is no problem, there is no problem to solve. What one considers a problem, someone else may not. We see this often on the forum and a good debate helps find the best solutions. @Ingolf said in Grouped items with lowered opacity shows as 100% - should that be the case?: The value you see for the group shows what opacity the group has as a TOTAL entity, and that's information that's important. I can understand in a way, the idea of a group containing multiple opacities within for example, being referred to as "100% opacity". it can be a confusing concept and one that caused great difficulty in illustrator to be able to return them all to 100% or adjust them otherwise. new users especially, get confused by this concept. I'm not necessarily saying it has to change, but I would like to think of at least some way to make it clear to users what the group opacity is when the parts of the group may have different opacities within

  Tagging on because it made me wonder - is using the alt key to select below the same result as using one of these options?

  @Boldline I think there always should be a center node. Try dragging the handle from the center, even if the node is not showing. If you have a file where the center node is not showing, send it to me I will try to figure out what is going on.

  @VectorStyler as far as i know, Node inserting follows the direction of the black arrows (see Picture) if you inserting nodes by double click on a Node so the node my red arrow is pointing at should not insert a node at all, or am I wrong?

  @VectorStyler said in What causes this node handle behavior and how do I best utilize it?: Changing the node type (just after the selected handle) to Cusp should fix this issue. yes that worked - thank you. This reminds me a little of the feature you added a few months back that involved using the spacebar to change the properties of node behavior. Is that still within VS? If so, is it in the documentation?
