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,

M

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%...
