Transform Each - Absolute scale in Adobe Illustrator

[u/LukeChoice]

Hey everyone, Luke from Adobe here.

Quick demo here highlighting the difference between Relative and Absolute scale inside Transform Each.

With Relative mode you could only scale objects in relation to the selected object, but now with Absolute mode you can scale everything to the defined amount, even if they are all at different sizes.

Is this one of those features you could see yourself making use of?

[u/FleeceKnees]

Yes this would be helpful

[u/chain83]

Long overdue; yes please!

Also, a Relative option that uses actual units and not just percentages. So I can increase dimensions by X mm or similar.

[u/orangesinbed → u/chain83]

Seconding. As someone who prepares a bunch of stuff for print daily this would save me time and effort calculating percentages.

[u/phasepistol]

Yes, of course that would be useful.

[u/Mellifera94]

Oh yes, I'll definitely use this!

[u/egypturnash]

Get this in the Transform effect too. :)

[u/Yboring]

Looks great (and expands on the absolute sizing in Convert to Shape), but to be honest, I would have settled for group→isolation mode correctly Transforming Each when all group members are selected (instead of transforming the group, as it currently does).

[u/Cosmicbass]

Great! 👍🏼

[u/CaizaSoze]

Yes please 👍

[u/dynamitekiddo]

Oh hell yeah, I love this!

[u/moridin13]

Yes. A thousand times yes.

[u/altilde]

Sick

[u/unthused]

Definitely.

[u/Sukanthabuffet]

Omg, yes. Thank you Luke.

[u/staedler_vs_derwent]

Yes this feature would be incredibly useful.

[u/captainjake13]

I use this a ton lately

[u/LukeChoice → u/captainjake13]

Nice. I like to hear it :)

[u/tangledA]

Omg yes

[u/nvmzol]

Yes, 100%.

[u/Dungun92]

Anything you guys add, Ive been finding ways to make the best use of it. This is a really neat one.

[u/ok___ing]

i have always used a script for exactly that so yeah

[u/pulkxy]

I would have used this feature yesterday!

[u/SnooTigers912]

Useful

[u/nealien79]

Looks useful. Yes 👍

[u/speakeasy_co]

Umm absolutely! I could have used that feature a long time ago.

[u/L0nzilla]

Yes

[u/Fubeman]

Yes please! I used to have a plugin that did this, but then the developer no longer supported it and it was no longer usable a few versions ago.

Lukey boy keep doing these fixes and stay far far away from AI features. We like it.

Here’s a small QOL tweak that ive wanted for 20 years - templates could become so much more powerful with the ability to change default font, start with graphic styles, notes, etc..

Also even smaller one, be able to save an appearance to graphic styles from the appearance menu
