Title: Resize shape : newbie question
Post by: tommy on June 30, 2009, 07:59:27 PM

Hi good people,

Let's imagine I have two shapes - parent and child (one inside another) - by default whenever I resize parent shape,
child shape also is resizing. How can I prevent this behavior ?

I used shapesheet and set PinX, LocPinX of child shape to static values but the child shape is still resizing.

Crazyiness :) - Can you please help me with that ?

Thanks,
Tomasz

You're on the right track. You must type in the literal width and height, and then guard both. For example width might be Guard(2 in) and height might be Guard(1.5 in). Literal values obvious freeze the size. Guard keeps the formula from getting clobbered.
