Scaling not working as expected

I’ve just created a series of shapes all the same size and then horizontally distributed them across a frame for even spacing. Now I want to add them to a wider frame and stretch them to fit across. If I select all the individual shapes and then drag them out, they scale perfectly. However, It isn’t ideal to have to select all the shapes each time so I tried putting them in a group, in a frame, in a stack and also converting them to a single symbol but it each case when I try to drag them out, they no longer scale proportionally. Am I missing a trick here?

Hi Steve,

Try the following:

If you use a Frame, press K select one of the handles on the sides and drag horizontally:

If you use a Graphic, press shift ⇧ while dragging horizontally:

I hope this helps!

That’s great thanks. Is there any way to scale just vertically or just horizontally?
