Re: [XaraXtreme-dev] Scaling an object without scaling the fill

[Phil Martin <phil@xxxxxxxx>]

We used to have a "Scale fills" button on the Selector Infobar  
alongside "Scale lines"...

I must say I would find it really useful to have this button back so  
that I could do numeric scales that don't scale fills - i.e. you have  
a shape filled with a repeating brick pattern, you want to set it's  
width to a particular, accurate value but you don't want the size of  
the bricks to change.
