Toolbar: Modify
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 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.
Specify
scale factor or [Copy/Reference]: Specify a scale, enter c, or enter r
Scale Factor Multiplies the dimensions of the selected objects by the specified
scale. A scale factor greater than 1 enlarges the objects. A scale factor between
0 and 1 shrinks the objects. You can also drag the cursor to make the object
larger or smaller.
Copy Creates a copy of the selected objects for scaling.
Reference Scales the selected objects based on a reference length and a specified
new length.
