Non-Visual Scale

Right-click Scale $image\SCALE.gif$ to access non-visual scale.

SCALE shrinks or enlarges the selected entities.

Select entities to scale using the Entity Selection dialog box.
The prompt reads "Scale by factor [n]:". If you wish to accept the default, right-click or press ENTER. To enter a new scaling factor, type a scaling and press ENTER. Scaling factors > 1 will make entities larger. Scaling factors < 1 will make entities smaller. For example, to make the selected entities twice as large as they are now, type "2" and press ENTER. To make them half as large, type ".5" and press ENTER.
The prompt reads "Scale center [x,y]:". The scale center is the point around which CC3 should scale the entities. To define the scale center:

· Right-click or press ENTER to accept the default or prior center.

· Use the cursor to visually select a center point (may be combined with modifiers).

· Type numeric coordinates and press ENTER.

CC3 redraws the entities at the new scale. The scale center remains fixed.

To reverse the scaling operation:

Use the UNDO command (Edit > Undo).
