Scale XTensions software
Scale XTensions software 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 XTensions software adds the following to QuarkXPress:
• 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.
• The Original and Scaled dimensions of the bounding box of the item or group are displayed
(in current units of measurement). These values are updated whenever you change a value
in the Width or Height fields.
• To change scaling settings, click the Settings button in the Scale dialog box or choose
Scale Settings from the Scale palette menu. The Scale Settings dialog box displays. Each
check box controls whether a particular item or attribute is scaled or not.
