Dilation
The
Dilation
tool dilates an object by a specified factor with respect to a specified point.
Note:
This factor may be any measurement or numerical value, regardless of units. The value is
presumed to be unit-less.
To create specific factors of dilation, please refer to “
Numerical Edit”
in the chapter “Using the
Display Toolbox.”
Dilating an object
1.
Select
Dilation
from the
Transform
toolbox.
2.
Select the object to dilate.
Select the object to dilate.
3.
Select the point of dilation.
Select the dilation point.
4.
Select the factor of dilation.
Select the dilation factor.
The dilated image is created.
Modifying a dilation
Change the dilated image by either modifying the figure
that defines the factor, editing the value created by
Numerical Edit
, moving the dilation point, or changing the
original object. Because it is a dependent object, you
cannot change the dilated image directly.
