Scaling vectors

Use the Scale and size area of the Tool Settings: Transform panel to change the size of a vector using specific values.

To change the size of a vector using specific values:

1. Select the vector you want to resize.
2. Click the Transform button.
3. Ensure the transform origin by which you want to move the selected vector is in the correct position.
4. To preserve the ratio between the Width and Height of the selected vector, ensure Maintain aspect ratio is selected. This option is selected by default.
5. Select how you want to scale the vectors.
   • mm — The vector is scaled according to its actual measurements.
   • Percent % — The vector is scaled as a percentage relative to its original size.
6. Enter the Width and Height of the selected vector.
   Note: If resizing a horizontal, or vertical, linear vector-polyline, enter the Length.
7. Click Apply to resize the selected vector, or click Cancel to cancel the resizing.
   Tip: Hold down Ctrl when clicking Apply to keep a copy of the selected vector in its original size.
