Illustrator 30.6: Unable to Change "Transform Both" Setting in Transform Panel

I just updated to illustrator 30.6 version and can no longer turn off the "Transform Both" option. Whether the chain icon is on or off, it scales both height and width. The drop down menu has the “Transform Both” option checked and will not allow me to uncheck it. Is anyone else having trouble with this? The only solution I found was to roll back the update to previous version.

    Transform Both is not about Height and Width, but about the transform of objects and patterns.

    The chain icon is about scaling both height and width to keep the proportions when entering values in the w and h fields.

    Thanks, Tom. I understand the difference, just thought that since both were malfunctioning at the same time it might be related. In any case, I’m no longer experiencing the issue. I appreciate the response, though.

    Hi ​@Chimneyphish,

     

    Sorry to hear you're running into this issue.

    If I understand correctly, you're referring to the Transform Both option in the Transform panel. If that's the case, that option itself isn't meant to be unchecked. Instead, you can switch between the three available transform modes, Transform Object Only, Transform Pattern Only, and Transform Both, by simply selecting the desired option from the menu. Ref: Transform panel overview in Illustrator | Illustrator

    I also tested the proportional scaling behavior with the chain icon in Illustrator 30.6, and it worked as expected on my end. If you're seeing different behavior, could you please try manually resetting your Illustrator preferences by following the steps in this Adobe Help article?
    https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/troubleshoot-preference-issues.html

    If the issue still persists, could you please share your operating system and version, along with a screenshot (or preferably a short screen recording) showing the Transform panel/drop-down and the behavior you're seeing? That will help us better understand and investigate the issue.

    Please let us know if resetting the preferences makes any difference.

     

    Looking forward to your update.

    Abhishek

    Well, reinstalling the update fixed the issue. One of my colleagues was having the same problem. I’ll check with him tomorrow to see if it resolved for him as well.
