Scale objects

Scaling an object enlarges or reduces the object horizontally, vertically, or both.

  1. Select a graphic object or objects on the Stage.
  2. Select Modify > Transform > Scale.
  3. Do one of the following:

    • To scale the object both horizontally and vertically, drag one of the corner handles. Proportions are maintained as you scale. Shift-drag to scale nonuniformly.


    • To scale the object either horizontally or vertically, drag a center handle.


  4. To end the transformation, click outside the selected object or objects.
    Note: When you increase the size of a number of items, items near the edges of the bounding box might be moved off the Stage. If this occurs, select View > Pasteboard to see the elements that are beyond the edges of the Stage.
