Sizing Objects
You have several options for sizing objects on the Editor window:
Use the Increase Size or Decrease Size tools. This method is good
for small changes. See the Using Increase Size and Decrease
Size section below for instructions.
Use the <Scale> key on the keyboard. Use this method for size
changes of 25% and greater. See Using the Scale function on
page 7-28 for instructions.
Use the Object Properties tool or press the <Object Properties>
key to set the absolute size of an object. To learn about this process,
see the Changing object properties on page 7-32
Using Increase Size and Decrease Size
The Editor window toolbar provides these two size tools, which increase
or decrease the size of the selected object proportionally by 10% of its
original size each time you select the tool.
When you select Increase Size, your selected object becomes 10%
larger than its original size. If you repeat Increase Size, your
selected object becomes 10% larger than its new size.
When you select Decrease Size, your selected object becomes 10%
smaller than its original size. If you repeat Decrease Size, your
selected object becomes 10% smaller than its new size.
Use the Increase/Decrease Size tools when you want to make a small
size change, or when you need to make the change in 10% increments.
