    Hi everyone,
    I must be experiencing a slight IQ deterioration here, but I need your advice on this one. I was playing around with components, so I made a couple of copies, and then applied the Box Scaling on them, because I needed the same component in different sizes. Nothing funny so far - they all behaved like I was used to - any change made to any of them affected all others.
    But if I apply Box Stretching - the "stretched" one behaves like it was made unique, so I can edit it, but the rest of them remain unchanged.
    Am I missing something here?
    Thanks in advance!

    Comfortably numb...

      That is normal - stretching creates a unique component.

        Numb, all Fredoscale's tools have the same behaviour with components. Have you made a proper selection of the component you're applying the stretch tool on? I mean are you sure that by a correct selection of the first component all others were automatically selected?

          I did make a proper selection, but I didn´t know that stretching makes a unique component. Thanks for the explanation, guys.

            Numb, what I meant it's that you can use the stretch tool exactly like the scale tool: by stretching the first component you stretch all the others, no unique component is automatically made.

              Hi, Massimo,
              I was trying to resize and reshape a single component.
              I have selected one of them and than applied FredoScale on it. The result was different with the
              Box Stretching tool, in terms of losing the option to change the rest of them afterwards, via select-edit component, just as if it was made unique.

                Hi sorry, I got it. You used the stretch tool on only one component first.
