It’s time to rotate and scale things around!

This new update is entirely driven by our users’ wishes. You can now create complex patterns with the new advanced transform capabilities and work with an unbeatable precision.

Rotate and Scale

Are you a long time user of Vectornator and miss the old Rotate and Scale tool? We decide to bring both back as modes in the Selection tool. To get to these modes, activate the Selection tool and you will see four buttons next to the toolbar.

Rotate- and Scale-Mode are only available when an object is selected

While in Rotation-Mode, with a single tap, you can change the pivot-point and rotate elements around it to create beautiful compositions.

In Scale-Mode, you can finally create ripple effects!

Duplicate-Mode

We finally moved the Duplicate-Mode where it belongs, right next to Rotate- and Scale-Mode.

Enter Values Numerically

Many of you have been requesting this feature since we released our redesign in version 2.0. While our sliders and rotation knobs have precision modes, which we described in our Essential Tips and Tricks article, we also felt the need for more precise input.

From now on, every control with a numerical value, wether it’s a slider, rotation knob or text field, you can tap on it to open the keypad and enter a precise value.

This new keypad improves a lot on the old keypad which you may know from the position text fields in the Arrange tab.

For example you can now enter values directly without needing to delete the old one or reset to the previous value by tapping the reset button. See your change directly without dismissing the keypad by tapping the enter button.

You can even copy and paste values between objects.

Color Blending

We didn’t stop there. We know you’ve also been missing the color blending options from the old Vectornator. We added a tab named Effects inside the Style inspector where working with colors is as easy as a quick tap.
