Strange circle modification when dragged in layers
-
I just see Styles Custom
It means that there are no shape effects on the Layer (which is good in this case, because I do not see any).
About the error:
I cannot replicate this. I dragged a copy into the layer and the size remained the same.Send me a version of the file where you have the copy in that layer and the size is different (then I can find out what causes the resizing).

@VectorStyler
Done. -
@fdarnel Now I can see the issue.
Only the object "o" is copied from the "{Group} seau".
But the "{Group} seau" has a transform (remember that in VS transforms are non-destructively stacked on objects).
What happens is that the object "o" has no transform, but it is transformed while inside "{Group} seau", and it will not be transformed if outside of the group.
When I convert a copied circle to curves, it's outline seems small, but still has 15,1 pt thickness.
This one is an issue with the displayed value. It seems to be a bug, I will fix it.

Thanks.
Probably I don't know well enough the app, as I am in trial period. May be a visual clue on the groups/layers concerned?
Still I don't understand why you didn't get the same result from the same file.
So how do I apply definitly this tranformation to the objects in the group? I selected it and tried "reset" in Transform.It is not only the displayed value, as you see in the capture. Before the conversion, the circle size is 33,33%, so I presume this is the problem. Is there an option to keep the thickness when using the button?
Another thing I don't understand: I drag an drop this circle multiple times with, cmd-alt. So they are all at 33,33%. Then I change just one of them for 100%, all are changed. Are they some kind of instances of a symbol?

I got the same result, I just did not know what was copied at first.

Object -> Convert to Curves on the group after applying transforms. Otherwise objects/shapes/transform stay parametric.

This is. not clear. Is this button the Convert to Curves?

Was it only Cmd+ (and not cmd-alt) ? Command+ creates references not copies. This is the same as symbols. Changing the original will change all instances.

Yes this button.
I was wrong, sorry. I used alt-maj, to copy and constrain the angle, just like in AI.
So I got instances of the same circle? If so, how can I visually remember that? -

Yes.

In the Layers panel, these should start with "Reference"
-
I don't see any Reference and nothing in Symbols palette, so they must not be instances, only copies.
What about respect of thickness when using Convert to curves button?
I still don't get this : I diminish a big circle to 33,33% in Transform, then just duplicate it twice with alt-maj, reset just the last copy to 100%. Now the two others are also at 100%… I sent you a capture video by email.

These will not show up in the Symbols panel.

I opened a bug on this, it is only about the value that is show.

This one is clearly a bug, and I can replicate it here. Will be fixed in the next build.

Ok, thanks.
