Scale functionality
Scale functionality lets you quickly scale QuarkXPress layouts, items, groups, and
contents similar to the way drawing programs scale objects. Through the Scale
Settings dialog box, you can specify what gets scaled — text, frames, offsets, line
weights, and more.
Scale functionality can be found here:
Item > Scale lets you specify a new width, a new height, or both for the selected
item, items, or group.
Window > Scale displays the Scale palette, which provides the same controls as
the Scale command. In addition, the Scale palette lets you scale the entire
layout. You can also scale the selected item, items, group, or layout up or down
by 5% by choosing Increase Size or Decrease Size from the palette menu.
Scale dialog box and Scale palette
Both the Scale dialog box and the Scale palette offer the following features:
You can scale in terms of percentages of the item’s current size (percent), or by
entering new dimensions (in current units of measurement). First, choose
Percent or Units from the menus to the right of the Width and Height fields,
and then enter appropriate values in the fields.
To scale items proportionally, click the Constrain button . When you constrain
scaling, the Height option is unavailable and items will be scaled equally
vertically and horizontally according to the entry in the Width field.
