logo - Sketch vector lines don't scale


My logo is composed only of vector lines. Its dimensions are 1051 x 194.


When I Layer > Transform > Scale the logo to a smaller size (eg 170 x 32), some of the lines disappear; in particular the vertical lines.


Why is this happening and how can I prevent it? Seems like such a basic thing that Sketch should be able to handle!



Answer



Billy Kerr was right. Vectors disappear if it's too small.


It's better to convert vector lines to vector shapes using "Layer -> Convert to Outlines" to gain more flexibility and understand what's happening with the shape.


Sketch app's minimum size to render vector shapes is 0.5 pixel. Sketch's vector shape's width/height must be greater than 0.5 to render in display canvas.



Sketch scale option doesn't show the error message if you reduce the size of a shape lower than 0.5 pixel since some people use it to hide shape. It shows error message only if you manually edit the width/height of a shape
