I am making an aggravation game board for my neighbor. Luckily I found one vary much like what he wanted...not marbles but pegs. The one I found uses 1/4" holes and since he wants to use golf tees as the pegs I need to convert those holes from 1/4" to 3/16" holes. I tried selecting all of them and changing the size but learned quickly that Aspire treats all of those holes (around 150 of them) as one entity, luckily I do know how to use control Z.
I hope you Aspire experts can tell me how to do this and I don't have to change them one at a time.
Thanks
George

Re: Mass Change hole sizes
Thanks, I guess I solved that one on my own. Simply drill 3/16 inch holes rather than 1/4 inch holes. I had pocketing on my mind and being an old f___ I was stuck on that.

Re: Mass Change hole sizes
If you did want to do it by resizing there are a couple of ways. One is to use the circle resize gadget. The other is to select the circles, press T to bring up the resize tool and then enter the percentage bigger/smaller you want each circle to be and they they will all be resized in one go.

Adrian,
The gadget will work great, but the resize tool will take all the selected circles and resize the group according to the grouped Height and Width not the individual circles. Unless I'm missing something and need schooling

Re: Mass Change hole sizes
The offset tool, with "Delete original" selected, can make new holes the size you want perfectly centered where the old holes were. You just have to do some quick math to know what value to use. To go from 1/4" holes to 3/16" holes the offset should be Inwards and the distance should be 1/32" (.03125).

Not if you use the percentage value.highpockets wrote:Adrian,

Re: Mass Change hole sizes
Yes, using the percentage changes the size of all the circles, but it also moves the location of the circles.
If you want the circles to stay in their original location just modify their size it doesn't work. Unless I need additional schooling, I can be quite dense

Re: Mass Change hole sizes
No-one said anything about keeping them in the same place just changing their size in one go.
Offset works best. I never used to use that for circles as it created loads of line segments but it looks like that's been fixed somewhere along the line.
