Percentage You can specify vertical and horizontal percentages.
Scaling an object 150 percent is the same as increasing the objects
size by a factor of 1.5, for example.
Ratio You can specify horizontal and vertical scaling factors as
ratios by entering numbers in each set of two boxes.
For example, to scale an object to one-third its original height, enter
1 in the first text box, and 3 in the second.
3
To scale an object vertically and horizontally by the same
amount, turn Proportional on.
4
To maintain the proportion between an objects pen size and
the overall size of the object, turn Scale Pen on.
5
If one of the selected objects contains text, you can turn Scale
Text on to change the size of the characters. Otherwise, text
remains the same size.
6
Click Apply to implement the settings.
7
Click OK to scale the object.
Depending on the Scale by
method you choose, the Scale
dialog box may display different
options.
Tip
You can also scale an entire
document when you print it,
without changing the objects in
the document, by specifying a
scaling factor in the Print dialog
box.
