Resizing ClipArt - Impossible???

[Jim Plaxco]

Hello,

I'm a new user to Pencil Project. I see that I can import images and resize them no problem. However, anything I bring in via the Clipart Browser is apparently NOT resizable!

Is this really the case or is there some arcane trick to getting inserted clipart to resize?  If so why should resizing clipart be any different from resizing an imported image?

FYI if I use my browser to visit clipart.org and manually download the same clipart and import it, I can resize it. 

Thanks.

Jim

Ditto... unable to resize if the images were dragged from CLIPART BROWSER within pencil.
I have tried Tools->Options and Clipart Browser  "scale images to smaller size before inserting" to desirable size.
Still no luck.

I've been struggling with exactliy the same problem! I had two issues, first the shape didn't resize at all, showing only a resizes 0x0 "square", which I can extend but without any effect, but it rotates! 

Way to reproduce it, look for "balancer" and drag and drop the clipart into the canvas (copying and pasting it's the same)

​

With "router" I've found a different problem, but it maybe because of the original clipart, too much blank space around it, but it works as expected, resizes and rotates with no issues (including the white area, tho)

​

Any way to circumvent the first issue?
