122 Working with Objects
To resize an object to a fixed aspect ratio:
1. Select the object(s) with the Pointer Tool.
2. Position the cursor over one of the object’s handles—you will notice
that the cursor changes to a double-headed Size cursor.
3. Drag from a corner handle (above) to resize in two dimensions (by
moving two edges), while maintaining the selection's aspect ratio
(proportions).
To resize to any aspect ratio, with the Shift key depressed, drag
from an object's corner handle. This resizes in two directions. If you
drag an object’s side handles, you’ll stretch or squash the object in
one direction.
To resize about the object centre instead, press the Ctrl key as you
drag.
You can also make fine resizing adjustments via the keyboard or
from the Transform tab.
To resize QuickShapes:
• As above but the object's aspect ratio is not maintained by default on
resize.
You can use the Shift key as you resize to maintain aspect ratio.
