Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:
- Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
- Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
- Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
- Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
- Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
- Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.
Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.
By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.
Ade gp 0.93

This is a feature, not a bug.
ADE-GP resizes based on the relative position of each vertex to the center. (There are other ways of resizing, but that's the method I chose.) In your case, the central vertex X-position is very close to the X-position of center of the arrangement.
So as to be able to enlarge a resized-smaller shaper, I limit how close to the center axis any vertex can come. In this particular case, you've found the limit. I can make the limit smaller - or eliminate it, but if you happen to be using the vertex that is approaching the center for the resizing, the shape may become distorted.
However, in writing this, I realized the test need be applied only to the vertex being used for the resize operation since it's the mouse's proximity to the center that is important. I'll take another look at that code.
Regarding the reset, it did exactly what it is supposed to do, i.e., reset the vertices to where they would be upon creation od the current shape (in ADE).

Yes. By zooming in, you increase the number of pixels between the vertices and the center.
But, the really good news is that, from my testing this morning, that check is unnecessary. I have found I can resize smaller until all the pixels are superimposed and can still enlarge with the same (apparent) shape. So, I'm getting rid of that check entirely.
