Description This command is used to scale selected objects in the current document, based on a specified base point and scale factor.

Use After launching the command, the cursor will change to a square and you will be prompted to select objects to include in the scaling. Simply position the cursor over an existing object that you wish to include in the selection and click. Clicking away from an object allows you to drag a selection area, for including multiple objects in the selection. Selection is cumulative.

Continue adding objects to the selection and then right-click when all required objects have been selected.

You will then be prompted to select a base point. This is the point of origin for the scaling. Move the cursor to the required location and click to define this base point.

The Enter Value dialog will now appear, from where you can enter a value for the scale factor, in terms of a percentage. After clicking OK, a dialog will appear asking whether you wish to scale apertures. Make your decision as required - the selected objects will be scaled from the base point and in accordance with the scale factor.

Continue scaling further objects or right-click or press ESC to exit.

Notes The default scale factor is 100% (appearing in the dialog as 0.0). This causes no change to the size of the selected objects. Enter a number below 100 for reduction in size. Enter a number above 100 for enlargement.
