decrease the vertical distance between selected
keys on the function curves in Curve Editor. It uses
the Scale Or igin Line (page 2–506) as a movable
reference point for the scale operation. Practically
speaking, scaling v alues always creates spatial
adjustments, rather than temporal. To scale in
time, use Scale Time (page 2–570) instead.
Note: Scale Values is not available in Dope Sheet
mode.
