The Make Same Width and Make Same Height tools allow you to resize objects in your selection to match the width or height of a reference object. These tools ensure uniformity and are ideal for aligning multiple objects with consistent dimensions. --- ### Location - **Arrange Toolbar:** Make Same Width and Make Same Height buttons. - **Keyboard Modifier:** Hold **Shift** to lock aspect ratio. --- ### How It Works ![Ref-MakeSameWidthHeight-Arrange](https://support.salasers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Ref-MakeSameWidthHeight-Arrange.png?width=430&height=36&name=Ref-MakeSameWidthHeight-Arrange.png) 1. **Select Objects:** - Highlight all objects you want to resize. - Select the reference object (the object whose dimensions others will match) last. 2. **Choose a Tool:** ![Ref-MakeSameWidthHeight-ArrangeLong](https://support.salasers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Ref-MakeSameWidthHeight-ArrangeLong.png?width=688&height=31&name=Ref-MakeSameWidthHeight-ArrangeLong.png) - Click **Make Same Width ![Icon-MakeSameWidth](https://support.salasers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Icon-MakeSameWidth.png?width=30&height=30&name=Icon-MakeSameWidth.png)** to match the width. - Click **Make Same Height ![Icon-MakeSameHeight](https://support.salasers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Icon-MakeSameHeight.png?width=31&height=31&name=Icon-MakeSameHeight.png)** to match the height. 3. **Lock Aspect Ratio (Optional):** - Hold **Shift** while clicking to adjust both dimensions proportionally, maintaining the object's aspect ratio. --- ### Key Notes - **Default Behavior:** All selected objects will resize to match the width or height of the last-selected object. - **Grouped Objects:** - Groups are treated as single entities. - The overall width or height of a group will adjust to match the reference object. - **Shift Modifier Behavior:** Holding **Shift** does not match both dimensions to the reference object. Instead, it adjusts the alternate dimension proportionally. - Example: A 40 mm x 20 mm object resized to match a 10 mm-wide object with **Shift** held becomes 10 mm x 5 mm. --- ### Resizing Priority When using the Make Same Width or Height tools, the reference object is determined based on these rules: 1. **Selection Order:** The last object selected is the reference. 2. **Draw Order:** If multiple objects are selected at once, the object with the highest draw order (front-most) is the reference. Use **Push to Front** to adjust draw order. 3. **Locked Objects:** - If one object is locked, it becomes the reference. - If multiple objects are locked, locked objects remain unchanged while the others resize based on selection or draw order. --- ### Practical Tips - **Maintain Uniformity:** Use this tool for consistent sizing in designs, such as aligning logos or creating evenly scaled elements. - **Shift Modifier for Proportions:** Hold **Shift** to ensure resizing maintains proportional dimensions, especially useful for circles and logos. - **Organize Draw Order:** Rearrange objects using the **Push to Front** option to set the desired resizing reference. --- The Make Same Width and Height tools streamline object resizing, helping you maintain precision and uniformity in your designs.
