7-28 Sizing Objects
Hint! Increase/Decrease Size changes are always proportional,
which means that you change the width and height of the object
at the exact same rate of change. The shape of the object
remains the same, though the size changes.
To resize an object using the Size tools
1. Select the object.
2. Select Increase Size or Decrease Size.
The object remains selected, and the size changes by 10%.
3. Repeat Step 2 to continue changing the size by 10% of the original
size.
Using the Scale function
Use <Scale> on the keyboard when you want to resize an object by 25%
or more and still maintain its original proportions. When you use the
Scale function, you choose a percentage that will reduce or increase the
current size of the selected object by that amount. For example:
When you choose 25%, the object is reduced to 25% of its current size.
If you repeat the process, the object is reduced to 25% of its new size.
When you choose 150%, the object is enlarged to 150% of its current
size. If you repeat the process, the object is enlarged to 150% of its
new size.
Hint! Scaling is always proportional, which means that it changes the
width and height of the object at the exact same rate of change.
The shape of the object remains the same, though the size
changes.
To resize an object using <Scale>
