For over 20 years we've written nifty software for the Mac.

@TALlama Sorry for the late reply - but no, there's no way to do this.
As a workaround, I would duplicate your image, resize it to the aspect ratio you'd like, and then pull out the layers you're interested in to the original image.
Acorn 8.2 is out! Gus wrote a blog post about it <https://shapeof.com/archives/2025/9/acorn_8.2_and_tahoe_plans.html>
@daisy55 Oh my gosh, but super late reply on this.
Yes, it's possible. There's an alignment option in the shape palette (Fill & Stroke section) that'll do the trick.
@eduo The 'Select ▸ Make Selection from Layer' menu item should do it. Or you can command click on the layer icon in the layers list as a little shortcut.
Let me know if I'm not understanding what you're after!
@roguewolf Not without doing the shape->selection trick. Setting the width and height on a selection is something I'd like to happen though.

@zeitschlag I have zero plans to sell Acorn. And folks buying it always helps it stay that way! :)
