Scaling objects
Scaling an object enlarges or reduces the object horizontally,
vertically, or horizontally and vertically. You can scale an
object by dragging or by entering values in the Transform
inspector. Scaling an instance, group, or type block scales it in
relation to its registration point. See Moving
an object's registration point.
To scale an object by dragging:
| 1 |
Select an object. |
| 2 |
Select the arrow tool and click the Scale modifier.
 |
| 3 |
Do the following: |
 |
To scale the object both horizontally and vertically,
drag one of the corner handles.
Proportions are constrained as you scale. |
|
To scale the object horizontally or vertically, drag a
center handle.

Note: When you increase the size of a
number of items, those near the edges of the bounding box can be
moved out of the scene. If this occurs, choose View > Work Area
to see the elements that are beyond the edges of the scene.
To scale an object with the Transform inspector:
| 1 |
Select an object. |
| 2 |
Choose Window > Inspectors > Transform. |
