Scaling an Entity
Scaling resizes an entity by a scaling factor. Usually, you scale by resizing both
the width and height proportionally. However, AutoSketch provides the
flexibility to scale a selection set by different amounts in each direction.
AutoSketch allows you to scale any entity except arcs and circles. For more
information on converting entities, see the chapter titled “Converting &
Exploding Entity Types,” which begins on page 313.
Dragging one of the corner selection handles is a fast way to visually scale an
entity. The x- and y- scale factors appear on the edit bar as you drag the
handle.
You can scale the selection set by a specified factor using Transform, Scale on
the Edit menu. When you do this, you have the option of scaling the entities
about a point you enter, or you can scale markers, text, and symbols about
their respective basepoints.
If you need another copy of an existing entity in your drawing, pressing
CTRL while scaling an entity specifies that AutoSketch leaves the original
entity behind and scales a copy of the selection set to the new location.
To scale an entity by dragging a selection handle
1 Select the entity or entities to scale.
2 (optional) Press and hold CTRL to scale a copy of the selection set and
leave the original.
3 (optional) Press and hold SHIFT to unconstrain the x- and y- scale.
4 Drag one of the selection handles to scale the selection set.
To scale entities by a known factor
1 Select the entity or entities to scale.
2 On the Edit menu, click Transform, Scale, or click the Scale button on the
All-In-One toolbar.
3 (optional) Check the Scaling Factor check box, to uncheck it, on the edit
bar to change the x- and y-scale of the selection independently.
