Chapter 3: Objects And Attributes
To flip a selection around both axes:
Choose Effects | Flip | Both Axes. Canvas flips the selection’s horizontal coordinates over its
vertical axis and its vertical coordinates over its horizontal axis.
Scaling objects
The Scale command provides several options for enlarging or reducing objects. Scale by a
percentage or ratio, horizontally and vertically. You can also scale text and stroke weights when you
scale objects.
To scale an object:
1. Select one or more objects.
2. Choose Object | Scale to open the Scale dialog box.
3. Select the Scale options.
4. Do one of the following:
Click Apply. The object is scaled, but the dialog box remains open. If you want to change
the options you can do so and click Apply again, or you can click Cancel to discard the
changes and close the dialog box.
Click OK. The object is scaled, and the dialog box is closed.
You can also scale an entire document when you print it, without changing the objects
in the document, by specifying a scaling factor in the Print dialog box.
