Resize or Reshape Objects
You can resize objects to make them longer or shorter in only one direction
or to make them proportionally larger or smaller. You can also stretch certain
objects by moving an endpoint, vertex, or control point.
Lengthen Objects
You can change the included angle of arcs and the length of some objects.
You can change the length of open lines, arcs, open polylines, elliptical arcs,
and open splines. The results are similar to extending and trimming. You can
alter length in several ways:
■ Dragging an object endpoint (dynamically)
■ Specifying a new length or angle as a percentage of the total length or
angle
■ Specifying an incremental length or angle measured from an endpoint
■ Specifying the object's total absolute length or included angle
