      I tried to use some dynamic components created in SU Pro 7 in SU Pro 8 and they don'y scale properly. I tried them in SU Pro 7 and they work perfectly.

      I thought there may be some incompatibility with plugins or the latest SU8 update, but I have the same problem in my laptop installation, on which I have not included a few recent plugins and is not not updated to the last release.

      Has anybody come across the same problem?

      I an attaching a DC as an example.

        It seems to work fine for me... πŸ˜•
        I assume that when it's scaled in X or Y you expect it to adjust to its new dimensions and change the number of bars it shows in that axis...
        [If you want to to scale like a non-DC then it needs editing to removing the scaling tricks, or exploding and reforming without any DC attributes at all ?]
        I know of no scripts that might interfere with this operation πŸ˜• πŸ˜•

            Thanks Tig, I uninstalled a few plugins and it is working normally again. I strongly suspect Sketchyphysics may have produced the problem. I will try to confirm this by uninstalling Sketchyphysics in my laptop and check that the problem is corrected.

              It is known that SketchyPhysics is implicated in ill-advisedly messing with some native base classes like 'Group', but I've never heard of it messing with DCs before πŸ˜•
              Other 'rogue tools' include DrivingDimensions, SunPosition, Matchbox and some versions of Podium... πŸ˜’

                I can now confirm that SketchyPhysics3 caused the problem. The problem was corrected after removing the sketchyphysics.rb and sketchysolids.rb files from the SU plugins directory on two different machines and operating systems:

                TOSHIBA TECRA, WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL SP3, 32 BITS
                APPLE PRO 8 NUCLEI, WINDOWS 7 PROFESSIONAL, 64 BITS (BOOTCAMP INSTALLATION)

                I hope this may be useful if someone runs into the same problem.
