    This looks like you haven't actually drawn the circle inside of XD, but instead copied it or imported it from another surface (like Illustrator). In this case, it looks like you  might actually have a different type of shape and not a natively drawn circle in XD. The latter will resize without scaling the stroke. If you're seeing a resize with a scaling of stroke, chances are you actually have a complex path already, and you're scaling it.

     

    If you draw a circle in XD and resize it, does it do what you're looking for?

    Hi there! We actually moved this from the context menu and into the new top level menu, as @Rishabh_Tiwari mentioned. Hope that helps!

    But what about this? I want to scale this circle proportionally but it changes the thickness of my stroke, and I can't convert it to a path to prevent that?

    Thanks for sharing the screenshot. Would you mind double-clicking the object or selecting the circle from the layer panel and then see if you get the option to "Convert to Path"?

     

    Thanks,

    Hi there,

     

    Thanks for reaching out. I tested this on my end and I am getting the option for "Convert To Path", so could you confirm the version of XD and please share more details about the object on which you are trying to "Convert To Path". 

     

    Regards
