Hi,

I cannot seem to find how to scale a simple 2D drawing in only one axis. Scale only gives both direction... what am I missing, or is this Working As Designed?

Cheers,

Hi,

hmm, below the pullout that holds the Scale function you
should find the Stretch function which will do what you want.

Hi,

The stretch command seems to only allow a stretch across a series of lines. I have a set of lines that need to be reduced in one axis. In AutoCAD I could lock one direction and then 'squish' the lines... or to put it another way in say photoshop, a picture can be 'squished' in one direction by setting the scale of say the x axis to 50% and leaving the y axis at 100%...
