Scale Entities (2D)
Edit (Sketch/Sheet Level)
![]()
Use this command to increase
or decrease the scale of a sketch/drawing sheet entity. The scale factor
is applied about a reference point.
Entities - Select the entities to be scaled.
Base Point - Specify the base point for scaling.
Scale Factor - Enter the scale factor or pick two points to define the scale factor. For the default Method (Uniform) only the x-direction scale factor is required. Other Methods include X-Direction, Y-Direction, and XY-Direction.
Copy - Pick Yes or No to copy the entities leaving the originals in place.
Method - Use this
option to set the directional method. Be sure to review the notes below.

Uniform - The scale factor will be applied uniformly in both the
X and Y directions.
X-direction - The scale factor will be applied to the X direction
only.
Y-direction - The scale factor will be applied to the Y direction
only.
XY-direction - You are prompted for differing X and Y scale factors.

For the default Method
(Uniform) the locations of all constraints (if any) associated with the
scaled geometry will be recalculated.
For all non-uniform scale methods the system will attempt to recalculate all constraints (if any) associated with the stretched geometry. Those constraints that cannot be satisfied will be deleted.
