Ok,

First problem is, I'm working on a mock up logo in Illustrator (CS2) and I assumed that since it was a vector program, I could resize it with no problem. It looks perfect in terms of lines lining up, but when I try to make it bigger (select all, hold down shift, drag...) the lines just go haywire. Is there something I'm missing here? All lines were done with the pen tool, BUT some were copy+pasted if that's an answer?


Second problem is, I have this feeling this is the easiest thing in the world but I can not figure how to do it to save my life. I was looking for something similar to the recycle logo. Basically, I'm just trying the manipulate arrows to curve into each other and follow shapes as one. I'm talking at least 3 arrows with say an O, and intertwining into a shape. Keep in mind, I'm not trying to replicate the recycle logo, just convert them into shapes in some way. Photoshop preferred, I've searched for help here and I've googled and suprisingly found nothing. Please help!

(first question)
Since this could be caused by different things, i'd like to see screenshots plz: 1 before and 1 after scaling.

Some possibilities: groups act differently to scaling, then selected items, not grouped.
In the scaling settings, there are some options, like f.ex scaling the line width, which can cause problems too.
etc...

so plz screenshots.

second problem:
Photoshop isnt made for that kind of manipulation, so just make the drawing in Illustrator and then export to photoshop, who will "rasterize" it automaticly.
