a couple of days ago I use Illustrator for ui icon design. where I put multiple icons in 14.8078*16.5 px. so now I want to change into height 14px exactly at once. so how to do that? I know if I do the decimal value it can be done, but how without that idea?
NB: I use transform effects tools but it doesn't give me the exact 14px

on the other hand, Figma is done easily. Just select all and set the pixel and ready to go BOOM.
so please kindly shear your thoughts on that how to fix the problem.

i also attach the Figma screenshot.

@Nahnudul5C0E I should add that each icon must be a group or compound path to be transformed by the ResizeToSize script. You can set exact values in it, and in later versions you can set the delta of change relative to the size of each object. @Rene Andritsch thanks 🙂

Turn off scale strokes and effects. This doesn't matter if there aren't any strokes in your design. But if it is turned on, then you might never land on exact values when scaling.

With ResizeToSize we can scale the stroke and get the exact size. The script does a cyclic scaling and checks if the specified value is reached. Of course, Adobe Illustrator actually truncates long decimal places of dimensions and coordinates that the user cannot see.

    Use the Illustrator script “ResizeToSize” from Sergey Osokin. It works really well. there is even a YouTube-Tutorial for it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN3dAf6rac8
    There you will also find the GitHub-download link. Happy Resizing!
