Inflate Deflate Preferences Dialog
Normally, the Inflate Deflate tool moves grouped objects as one unit. But when this setting is enabled, all groups (including nested groups and clip groups) are ignored, and all child objects are moved independently. The setting can be toggled on the fly using the G
key while dragging with the tool.
Inflate Deflate Ignore Grouping
When enabled, the size of the transformation point is increased.
Inflate Deflate Large Transformation Point
When enabled (the default), selecting different artwork will cause the transformation point to be moved to the center of the newly-selected art’s bounding box, similar to the way the native Rotate tool works. If the setting is disabled, the transformation point can be reset manually by Shift-clicking
on it.
