How to scale objects
Select the objects you would like to scale. Select the Scale Tool from
the tool bar. Then follow these steps:
- Click on the pivot point (see below) and release the mouse.
- Move the mouse away from the pivot point.
- Click anywhere and without releasing
the mouse, drag the mouse until the objects have been scaled
to the desired size.
The pivot point is the point about which you would like to scale
the objects.
This may be any point in your drawing,
for example, the center of the selected objects.
Is it hard to control?
For good control, after choosing the pivot point, move the mouse diagonally,
away from the pivot point.
The farther you move the mouse the better the control.
Scaling uniformly
To scale objects uniformly in horizontal and vertical
directions, hold down the shift key while dragging the mouse.
