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%...
