Hello,
I have just updated my FontCreator from version 13 to 15, and while I see a lot of nice and useful changes, the new transform panel looks like a few steps backwards to me:
To be precise, I cannot find an option to keep the aspect ratio on resizing (this used to be a checkbox below width and height). Is this a keyboard shortcut or an option somewhere now, or is it actually missing?
Likewise, I miss the movement that used to be an extra tab.
Can these two features be re-enabled somehow? I didn't find anything about them in the manual.
Kind regards,
Alexander

This update should solve the issues:
https://www.high-logic.com/tmp/fontcrea ... 32-x64.exe
You can use expressions within the X and Y position fields, which allows to make movement. For example, if a component is positioned at X = 50 and you want to move it by 150 units, then provide this text into the edit box: 50+150.
Let us know your results!

That seems to work as expected.

Perfect!
Works like a charm. Thank you so much!
Edit: I just realized that these expressions are actually much better than the old movement feature. Since they also support multiplication, I can e.g. move something by three times my usual stroke width without doing the math on my own. I didn't even know that I need that.
