Your first projects look amazing. It is so satisfying to make things that are so functional and nice looking too.

Cool! The iPad app must have updated.
I just played with itā¦ and unfortunately unchecking responsive doesnāt help us.
It seems that iOS Illustrator is always using Pixels as the unit of measurement when exporting SVGs (even if the document is using Inches as itās unit of measurement).
Hereās an example SVGā¦ basically a 2 inch square.
I highlighted in the second one what āResponsiveā doesā¦ it just adds
width="720px" height="720px"
which unfortunately suffers the problem of a different PPI (pixels per inch) than GFUI expects.
But Adobe does seem to keep improving Illustrator for iOSā¦ so maybe theyāll address this.
Hope it arrives soon for you

Thank you for examining this, it certainly keeps me from wrestling further with the program and just opting for the scaling process!
You made this in your first week? I love it! Are the support spindles for the shelves made by your daughter? This is really nice work.
You are one of us.
Iām still trying to get used to any part of the Adobe world. The suite of products I learned on were nothing like what I am trying to use now. I love CorelDraw, although the Mac version is incredibly buggy, it is much more intuitive and logicalā¦Adobe stuff, I wish.

Thank you. Yes she turned the spindles. I showed her the basics on the first one, and the dimensions I wanted, then she finished it + the other 5. There are 3 in the front and 3 in the back, all mahogany. She is real talented, Iām a proud Dad as she is only 16 and wanting to start her own business. She has 2 stores lined up for her stuff. So, we need to plan out another display.
Iām teaching her how to stabilize wood now, and most of her new stuff is based on stabilized blanks.

Very nice. Now theyāll nag you for displays for them.
This turned out fantastic!!
I struggle with AI so much. Is there a certain tool you used to learn?
I hear you. For this, I just poked at it until I got it to do something close to what I wanted. Having said that, just yesterday I purchased an Ai course on Udemy. I canāt keep doing what I have been doing. Right now Iām busy making a new home for the GF (bench with external airflow). The GF was actually a birthday present for my wife, I need to get it setup for her in a more permanent home.
