Operation Manual

Working with Objects 69
In smart sizing mode Scaling is performed in relation to a selected
object within a multiple selection. Objects are rotated together but
around their own individual centre points.
To use Smart Sizing on objects:
1. Select multiple objects for smart resizing. See Selecting one or more
objects on p. 24.
2. Choose
Smart Sizing from the context toolbar (or hold down
the Alt key). You'll notice DrawPlus will pick a particular object for
smart sizing, but you can change it.
3. Select another object in the bounding box as required.
4. Resize, rotate or shear using the selected object's nodes within your
bounding box to apply the changes to it. All objects will be changed
using the same proportions from the object you manipulated.
Use the Ctrl key to resize objects from their centre point.
Replicating an object
DrawPlus lets you replicate objects. The copy is displayed at the new
location and the original object is still kept at the same position—your
new copy also possesses the formatting of the original copied object.
Multiple copies of an individual object can be made by replication or
transformation.
For best results, ensure you rotate your object before you duplicate
or replicate it using any of the techniques described below!
