I am quite new to Miro so apologies if this has been asked before (couldn’t find the right topic). I have used a shape as a backdrop to creating a timeline which acts as an account recap and account plan for a client. I have used connecting lines to show the various activities in a certain period in time. When I try to expand the shape as and when I need to extend the timeline, the lines are dragged along too. Is this because the lines are connected to a certain point of the shape in the background rather than to an image in the foreground? If yes, how can I select the shape only without affecting the connecting lines? 

Interestingly, when I try to just delete the shape in the background, a few, not all, of the lines go missing as well though I created all the lines together.

@Sadanandan -

Yes, if the lines are connected to the shape, then scaling the shape would result in those lines being adjusted so that they preserve their relative connection point to the shape (e.g. 50% down the length of it).

In general, if lines are attached to an object, then selecting the object will include connected lines. What might be happening with the ones that stay after deletion is those might have been created starting from a different object to the deleted shape rather than vice versa…

Thanks, @Kiron Bondale . My question then is as to why the lines are connected to the shape and not the objects. The shape was the first thing I put on the board, followed by a timeline, then the objects (screenshots), and then finally using lines to connect the timeline to the objects.
