Percentage scale saving (similar to Smart Objects)

[aekorps]

Is there anyway to see how much an object has been scaled down in Designer? For instance, I scale down an image, do some other things and come back to that image. Can I see that I've scaled it down to 50% of it's ORIGINAL value (at import) and scale it BACK to 100%?

 

This question also applies to squishing images or objects which often happens when you hold shift depending on whether it's grouped or not, it will squish images that I want to keep proportionally scaled. My above question applies to this also in that I would want to "fix" the squishing that sometimes occurs without realizing it until later.

 

 

Thanks!

As far as I know there is no such mechanic implemented in Affinity Designer.

AD doesn't track the original sizes of objects.

 

The only thing it does is that it have a complete history including the whole document (see History panel).

I would assume this would be part of the way symbols work in Affinity as a new user. That's too bad, I hope it gets added! It's really hard to tell sometimes as it's so easy to accidentally squish an object in Affinity and have no idea because the scaling doesn't consistently the exact same way depending on the object.
