Question

triangle changes size when rotated

Hi there,

I have to set up a 4 page triangle brochure for print. My artwork is currently set up as 4 single triangles but they need to be slightly rotated to fit the print template. Every time I rotate the triangle  it warps and changes its size. How do I stop this from happening?

Thanks

Nicola

    Nicola,

    Have you created the outer triangle with the Polygon Tool (and rounded the corners) and made sure it is regular?

    It may be convenient to create a circumcircle of the outer bounds of the triangular path and Group the two, which will give you the same fundamental dimensions and centre (and a square Bounding Box).

    Click on them and under Object menu, choose "expand".

    I think it might have to do with uneven angles, my mistake! thanks

    Is it real triangle or effect?

    Hi Monika,

    I'm using Illustrator CC 23.0.3. If you see the artwork below the template, the dimensions are 190 x 172mm....
