Hi community, 

I dont know why, but sometimes when I want to scale selected objects its simply impossible ? Why ?

Unscalable

And when in my selection I have one of these unscalable object, the whole selection become unscalable.

 

Not the first time I’ve encounter this.

Thanks for help.

Hi ​@Charles Collin,

Based on testing, it appears that scaling a mind map in Miro follows specific behavior:

  • Scaling is possible only when the entire mind map is selected, including the main node and all connected branches.
     

     

  • If only part of the mind map is selected, scaling is not allowed.
     

     

  • If multiple elements are selected, such as a full mind map and an individual node from another mind map, scaling is also restricted.
     

 

This suggests that Miro requires a full mind map selection for scaling and does not support scaling when multiple mind maps or unrelated elements are selected together.

 

In your case, you’d need to scale this one first, as it considers the one with CONAISSANCES text node as a separate mindmap.
 

 

Hope this helps!

 

If you experience different behavior or have additional insights, feel free to share! 😊

Hi ​@Eca , 

Thank you for the help.

What I figured out is that when a node is folded you cannot scale the mind map object.

Could that issue be fixed ? 

Thank you

Hi ​@Charles Collin,

 

Thanks for following up!

 

I was able to reproduce this. 

I’ll check with supports if this is an expected behavior or a potential bug. I’ll get back to you once they respond. Thank you for reporting it!

 

In the meantime, please feel free to let us know if you need further assistance.
