Scale Objects > To Fit (Modify Menu)

This command can be used to scale (i.e. change the size of) all kinds of objects in the drawing. The objects are so scaled (and moved) that they fit into a specified rectangular area.

When choosing the Change Parameters (+ESC) command, a dialog appears in which you can select the mode of fitting.

The objects to be scaled have to be chosen. Click on objects to choose them.

The first corner point of the area can be specified by clicking the mouse button anywhere in the drawing.

The second corner point of the area can be specified by clicking the mouse button anywhere in the drawing.

Some objects cannot in principle be scaled non-proportionally. Above all, these are circles and circle parts, and also surfaces which contain circle arcs. If you scale such an object non-proportionally, those elements will be converted to ellipses, ellipse parts, or Bézier curves.
