Hi,

 

I've just downloaded an asset from Adobe Stock.

On Ai, a message pops up.

 

What is 9-slice scaling?

Which one should I click, No or Yes?

I have another question.

 

In Ai, is there any way to cut out all the layers at once?

 

I am afraid that my question is correctly described by the picture below.

You could select all those points at once with the direct selection tool and move them along the path. Using Smart guides for orientation.

It would mean that it only scales the symbol inside the guides an as shown here leaves the corners undistorted.

I tried both No and Yes.

I see no difference.

 

Thank you very much.

Everything will scale proportionally  when you say no.

It is a usefull option for buttons with rounded corners that you do not want to distort when you make the button longer.
