HiThis one is a question I'm asking myself since the first time I started using Indesign :

Is there any way to keep a fixed spacing betwin objects when I'm actually resizing them all at once ?




For example : each time I resize 3 objects spaced by 5 mm each, let's say 200%, those resized objects are now spaced by 10 mm... but I actually want them to stay at 5 mm to each other. I had to struggle with Indesign for years on this, resizing, then distribute spacing, then resize again, redistribute, and so on... to end up with something not perfectly accurate.


I can see why ID doesn't behave this way or offer a simple option to do so; it's just a little off the grid (pun intended) of what any signficant number of users would do often enough to validate the feature.


But it seems within easy reach of a script. Select objects, set scaling factor and v/h spacing, click. Would probably have to manually reposition the group after that but even something simple like adjust anchoring values would be scriptable as well.


On several flights now with MSFS last Build and hotfix 2 i seeing that zigzaging betwin waypoints we had in first releases is back, ( seems not in FBW ) but with the Autopilot from MSFS and we know this AP is used mostly with all planes.


The Piper Seminole did this on one flight yesterday and then it didn't happen again. The aircraft would roll 30 degrees one way and then 30 degrees the other, for miles and miles. I finally just restarted the sim, and no more problems. I think it was something in the sim, rather than the aircraft. I went on 3 flights after that with no issue at all.


Yes I get it constantly in the flight planner. Even if the text showing the waypoints at the top of the flight planner is correct, eg. KAST > BTG > KPDX, the magenta line on the flight planner will show the plan going to KPDX before BTG, in a zig zaggy mess.
