RECTANGLE SKETCH TO SCALE OPTIONS

ADiaz

Can we get a RECTANGLE SKETCH TO SCALE that has control point options like the text box? The text box has 8 control points that keep the shape as a rectangle regardless of what points are moved. Currently, if one of the points is moved it turns your perfectly good rectangle into a wonky Polygon. If I wanted that, I would use Polygon Sketch to Scale.

I agree @ADiaz that adding mid point grips to allow resizing with a single click would be a nice feature addition.

Until then you could try this workaround:

1. Select the rectangular sketch to scale that you would like to resize.
2. Select 1 point that you would like to change. Hold down the shift key and drag that point to where you would like it to be size wise.
3. Select the other point that needs to re-aligned. Again, hold down the shift key and drag that point until it snaps to the correct alignment.

The key is the use of the Shift Key as a modifier. This "keeps things in line" in this case.

In your example above you could drag the top right control point where you need it, then grab the bottom right control point and, while holding down the shift key, drag it until it lines up with the upper right control point. Then repeat the process with the upper left point.

Hope this helps. 😎
