Resizing Objects
To modify the dimensions of an object:
1. Select the object concerned.
2. Point to a handle.
The pointer shape changes to a double-headed arrow. The direction of the arrow indicates whether you can resize the drawing object horizontally, vertically, or both:
3. Hold the mouse button down: a selection rectangle appears around the drawing object.
4. Drag the mouse.
The rectangle indicates the new size of the object.
5. Release the mouse button when the desired dimensions are obtained.
Shortcuts concerning resizing
You can change both the height and width of a drawing object proportionally:
*By holding down the <Shift> key and dragging one of the handles at a corner of the object.
To create a drawing object based on its center:
*Hold down the <Ctrl> key while dragging the mouse.
*These shortcuts exist in MEGA Windows Front-End only.
Resizing drawing objects to the size of another object
To resize one or more drawing objects to the size of a reference object:
1. Select objects to be resized.
2. Select the reference object by holding down the <Shift> key and clicking it.
3. In the pop-up menu, select the desired option of Make Same Size: Height, Width, Both (height and width).
The drawing objects now have the same height and/or width as the reference object.
