Match selected shapes to smallest selected item?

Hi there

Thanks for posting to Lucid Community! To match the size of the smallest item 

1. Select all the shapes you want to size match and make sure you select the smallest item last.
2. Right-click to "Match Size".
3. Select the "Both Width and Height" option.

I've attached a screen recording of this below. 

I hope this helps! Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions or issues.

If anyone else has any questions about modifying shapes or resizing shapes please visit our Modify Format and Style Shapes Help Center article. 

Thanks for the reply. Using the context menu worked. Using the right palette only works to scale to the "largest" item selected. This seems to be a bug.

Hi there

Thanks for replying in this thread. I believe the contexual panel's matching size feature to the largest item selected is expected behaviour. If you would like to scale to the "smallest" item you can use the workaround I provided above.

If you wish to see this feature available for "smallest" items in the contexual panel in the future would you mind adding this to our feature request form? Ideas submitted to this form are passed on to the product development team for their consideration and are highly valued when prioritizing improvements to the product. 

I'm sorry for any inconveniences this has caused and thanks for your request. 

Since the two methods are named identically (Match Size) it seems they should work the same. I consider this a bug not a feature request.

Hi there 

Thanks for posting again to this thread! Apologies for the late reply. I've checked in with our product development team and they've confirmed that the contextual panel 'match size' should work the same as the Arrange menu's 'match size' at the top of the Lucidchart editor. They both match to the largest item selected. If you would like for this to perform the same way as the right-click 'match size' could you please submit your feedback to this form? 

If you have any other questions or issues please let me know.

Affirming that this presents as a bug, not an “as designed” feature the way it is described above.  Other programs will match sizing to the first selected item in a group, which effectively gives you “match to any” capability, which more closely aligns with what you get with the mouse driven behavior.

Hi ​@bk0k, thank you for adding to this thread! To clarify, since this post was created, Lucid has been updated will match sizing to the last selected item in a group, rather than the largest as previously posted. This means that you will want to select all shapes that you would like to change, then select the shape with the desired size last, then click “Match Size” to achieve the desired change. Please let me know if you have any further questions!

Interesting, because I tried it all out prior to posting this, and I could not ever get it to update to anything other than the largest dimensioned item.  That’s what prompted me to search for a way to do it which is what led me to this thread.  I mean, unless you updated it in the last 3 hours, it doesn’t appear to work, or possibly relies on some subtle manipulation that I can’t figure out how to accomplish.
