Grow objects option in the resource library

[Rosie MacAlpine]

Hi all,
I 'rediscovered' this feature yesterday and wondered why I haven't used it more before!
I was making a flipchart with about 20 images of food that I wanted to make the same size. Usually, I drag and drop them on the page, then resize them.
Instead I remembered the Grow objects (if you haven't used it before, it's a radio button down the bottom of the resource library). It lets you.. well... grow objects!
If you haven't used it before, it's well worth a go. I think it's a good time saver for these types of flipcharts.
Of course perhaps everyone else is using this and it was just me still using drag and drop all the time!;)

Hey rosie,

Nice to hear, that every activ user uses more of the fantastic options of the software. Hope you have full pleasure with it.
You can use the option for importing scaned pages for example of a book and then use the grow option. +wave+

I like the idea of using the grow images for scanned pages! Great idea!

[Rosie MacAlpine]

Yeah, that's a great idea for the scanned images - it'd also be great for navigating to photos and then growing them (as sometimes they are huge).

I couldn't find this in ActivPrimary. Is it only available with ActivStudio?

[davidlloyd]

Yes it is only available in Activstudio. Sorry:(

Yes it is only available in Activstudio.

Why is it not in AP?;)
