scaling breakpoints

[Bart Design]

Hi Pablo, very confusing for working with the breakpoints. Going from default to the next breakpoint 1024 etc all the way to 320. The only thing it does is scaling the page down. I must overlook something. Do you have a tutorial. Thanks

[Pablo]

Tools -> Options -> General -> Automatically scale new objects
Please see the help for more details about this option.

Even if i have taken off Automatically scale new objects, it will still show me the page is scaled into the 1024. Going from default into 1024.

This is what works for me.

I have automatically scale turned off.

I create my page in the default breakpoint (n my case 1280).
I then look at the next BP size and move/resize things manually. When it looks OK, I move to the next BP down in size. What I generally see is that each BP down shows the layout of the previous one.

Even if i have taken off Automatically scale new objects, it will still show me the page is scaled into the 1024. Going from default into 1024. So it does't let me do my own scaling in the 1024 breakpoint ...

Then I guess you need to share the project with Pablo to see what's wrong

Did you recreated the breakpoint after changing the option?
The option does not affect objects on existing breakpoints. it only changes the behavior for new objects.

Also note that if you uncheck 'automatic scaling' then it will work the same as in previous versions.

Hi Alan, thanks for your reply. I did exactly what you wrote, but still end up with a viewport in the 1024 that is scaled. So i can't scale it myself...

[Bart Design]

Hi Pablo i don't know what you mean by recreating the breakpoint.

[Pablo]

I am not sure if I understand you correctly

What do you mean by:
"I still end up with a viewport in the 1024 that is scaled. So i can't scale it myself..."

What do you see and what did you exact to happen?
Why can't you scale objects yourself?

[Bart Design]

It still looks like a enable the automatically scale? So a see a viewport that is scaled. Thats why i can ajust it to my needs. But don't worry i am going to take a break, and hope it will give me a clear vision aftherwards. Thanks for thinking along with me Pablo.

It still looks like a enable the automatically scale?

Automatically scale object, will resize the object based on the breakpoint size (relative to the default view).
It does not scale the viewport, it only affects new objects.
This is a new feature in Wb15. if you want it to work like in previous version then do not enable this option.

Hi Pablo, if i go from one breakpoint to another and if i resize the text manually to fit the viewport than the backgrond off the text is no longer transparant but give me a white backgrond. Aldo i set the text to transparant in the properties. I cant seems to resolve this issue.

[Pablo]

It seems to work correct for me.
Can you share a demo project so I can see all your settings?

[Bart Design]

I don't know how to do this while my project is not publish't yet. I am still in designing mode.

[Pablo]

You do not need to publish the project to your website.
All I need is a demo project, which demonstrates the issue.
I need more information to be able to help you.

i am sorry but even with the explanation i don't know how to do this ...

[Pablo]

Step 1
Create a new project

Step 2
Add a text object

Step 3
Add a breakpoint.

Do you see the problem?
If yes, then please share the project
If no, then what are the steps to see the problem?

[Bart Design]

No i dont see it, sorry. Thanks for your help do. I restart the program on a later point today, and start over again.
