Menu: Modify Scale
Shortcut menu: Select the objects to scale. Right-click in the drawing area
and click Scale.
Summary
To scale an object, specify a base point and a scale factor. The base point acts
as the center of the scaling operation and remains stationary. A scale factor
greater than 1 enlarges the object. A scale factor between 0 and 1 shrinks the
object.
List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Select objects: Use an object selection method and press Enter when you
finish
Specify base point: Specify a point
The base point you specify identifies the point that remains in the same
location as the selected objects change size (and thus move away from the
stationary base point).
NOTE When you use the SCALE command with annotative objects, the position
or location of the object is scaled relative to the base point of the scale operation,
but the size of the object is not changed.
