stretching a circle

(OP)
Hi,

I am new to autocad and am having a lot of problems in editing existing drawings. For instance how can i modify the diameter of an arc? If i ty to stretch it, the whole arc moves and the dimension value cannot be modified by entering a new value in the properties box.
The drawing I am trying to edit is attached. I am trying to reduce the diameter of the arc from 1.008 to 0.65

Thanks,
Mike

RE: stretching a circle

Can't you use the scale command and accomplish this?

RE: stretching a circle

You can use the properties box to change radius and diameter also.
