How to scale objects

Select the objects you would like to scale. Select the Scale Tool from the tool bar. Then follow these steps:
  1. Click on the pivot point (see below) and release the mouse.
  2. Move the mouse away from the pivot point.
  3. 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.
