Scaling Elements

Scale lets you resize the entire profile to the specified dimension.

  1. Under Keep constraints, select the appropriate check boxes to indicate the types of constraints to be preserved in the translated geometry.

    Following check boxes are available under Keep constraints:

    • Internal
    • External
    • Mode
    Note: The Mode option preserves the original constraints applied to the selected elements.

  2. Select the elements to be scaled.
  3. Click to indicate the center point on the geometry.

    You can define the center point from its coordinates in the Tools Palette boxes.

  4. In the Scale box, specify the scaling ratio.

    If required, you can select the Step mode option which controls the increments by which the scale value changes.

  5. Click OK to confirm.
  6. Click anywhere in the work area.

    Internal constraints and external constraints are preserved but revalued.
