Scaling with the Transform Tool

T-HFND-008-007

You can scale a layer from its pivot using the Transform tool. You can temporarily reposition the pivot to scale from a different point.

  1. In the Tools toolbar, select the Transform tool or press Shift + T.
  1. In the Tools toolbar, if Animate Current Frame or Animate Onion Skin Range mode is enabled, click on it to open the Animate pop-up menu and select Animate Off.
  1. In the Tool Properties view, make sure Peg Selection Mode is disabled.

  1. In the Camera or Timeline view, click on the layer you want to manipulate to select it.

    TIPS
    • If you want to select multiple layers in the Camera view, hold down Shift and click on each layer you wish to select.
    • If you want to select multiple layers in the Timeline view, hold down Ctrl (Windows/Linux) or ⌘ (macOS) and click on each layer you wish to select.
    • If you want to select a contiguous series of layers in the Timeline view, hold down Shift, click on the first layer you want to select, then on the last layer you want to select.

    A manipulator control box appears around the selected layer.

  1. Move the cursor over any of the yellow control points on the manipulator box, then click and drag to scale the layer.

    NOTE When scaling your selection, you can hold down Shift to preserve the proportions between its width and height.
