SCALE XY reshapes selected entities, scaling them by different amounts horizontally (x) and vertically (y).

  1. Select the entities to scaleXY.

  2. The prompt reads "Scale X by [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 in the X direction as they are now, type "2" and press ENTER. To make them half as large in the X direction, type ".5" and press ENTER.

  3. The prompt reads "Scale Y by [n]:". Select or enter a value as you did for Scale X.

  4. 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), or;

· Type numeric coordinates and press ENTER.

CC3 redraws the entities at the new X and Y scales. The scale center remains fixed.
