I have custom stencils, and the shapes are all sized relative to each other. I want to know if there is a way to change the size that they drop onto the page? So if I set the multiplier to 1.5 then every shape will drop onto the page 1.5x larger than the master shape specifies. I don't want to have to resize later.
you could use the ondrop cell of the shapesheet.
setf(getref(width), width.thepage!prop.scale)+setf(getref(height), height.thepage!prop.scale)
I wonder however if you wouldn't go better by modifiying the scale of your page directly?

If you have a file which include objects for example for EE like transistors, resistors etc and if you group them into one and then from the corner drag it to zoom in a bigger figure.
How can I make sure that these components are not zoom in only wiring changes?
The problem is that I have like 30 images with different sizes and I'm placing them in a table with many images side by side. However, if I keep the same scale then some images looks small compared to other. So I tried to scale them to get the same size. However, this make the components's sizes are also scaled up with different scale factors.
Here is an example of circuit using the bult-in shapes in Visio. As you can see the components'sizes got bigger when I scaled up the object. This is usually desired. However, in my specific case I want to keep the component's size same.
Here is the Visio file or I think you can also use any available components in Visio.

I have the following setup:
As you can see, the title 'Load from CMK' is being clipped. Is there a way to arrange the image so that the full title will be expressed, even if it means overlapping other elements?
It looks like using ImageScaling might be a solution, but in what way I am not sure (from here).
Set Scaling to 'None', and if image parameters are too small/too big, manually adjust it outside of the application.
With this Scaling setting as long as the image is not too big the title fits cleanly underneath.
I have imported a vector image to PaintCode app and then export its Swift to code. I want to use this vector image in a small View (30x30) but since I want it to work on different devices, I need it to be size-independent.
The original size of the vector image is 512x512. When I add its class to a UIView, only a very small part of the vector image can be seen:
I need to somehow resize the image that can be fit in any size of a frame. I read somewhere, that I have to draw a frame in PaintCode app around the image, I did it but nothing changed.
Start by selecting the "Frame" option from the toolbar
Apply the frame to you canvas...
nb: If you mess up the frame DELETE IT and start again, modifying the frame can change the underlying vector, which is annoying
Apply the desired resize options. This can be confusing the first time.
I group all the elements into a single group. Select the group and on the "box" next to the coordinates of the group, change all the lines to "wiggly" lines. This allows paint code the greatest amount of flexibility when resizing the image...
Finally, change the export options. I tend to use both "Drawing" and "Image" as it provides me the greatest amount of flexibility during development
You should also look at Resizing Constraints, Resizing Drawing Methods and PaintCode Power User: Frames for more details
In Marks, click Size and there pops a slider where I can adjust the size of a shape. But how to accurately control the size, is there some property with numbers to accurately control it? I have two sheets to show something similar and I want to display exactly the same sized shapes.
If you want to ensure 'sizes' are the same across two worksheets, I'd suggest snapping the 'size' setting to the center on both, as this is the easiest option to select. You can then use a measure to set the size, if this is desirable, and then the difference in size will be relative on both worksheets.
There isn't a numerical value override for the size slider.
Ben is correct, there isn't yet a numerical value override for the slider. You can use parameters with Min/Max/Sum etc. and a variable to somewhat change the sizes but they have to have multiple entries per line. It is unfortunate that Tableau still doesn't get that people want both a 'relative' sizing system that uses numbers from the dataset and a 'static' sizing system that allows for shapes to be set to '11px' or something along those lines. Yes, you can control that kind of in the dashboard with a vertical and fill entire box etc; but that doesn't address the very real scenario where you want a user to be able to re-size on the fly. Just my two cents.
I ran into this today. Very annoying. Need to keep shapes the same size across all worksheets and therefore same on dashboard.
I have ten labels on a view positioned vertically. I need to evenly space them. Does IB have any type of setting that will do this?
If you select individual labels and drag them around the view, they should "snap" to certain guides around the interface. If you drag an element close to another element it should snap to about 8 pixels away, and that's the standard spacing between elements on the iPhone.
If you want more precise control, you can select an element and use the arrow keys to move it around one pixel at a time.
You can also use the Align Horizontally/Vertically in Container menu items from the Layout menu.
Do the math and then type in the X,Y coordinates. Unfortunately, I think that is the easiest way.
If you are OK using Apple's guideline spacing, dragging one label near another will generate a dashed line at a certain point. Do this for each label below the next, and they will be evenly spaced.
