how to scale objects in only one direction (X or Y)

[VINCENT E STUHLEN]

Hi.

It's me again!
I can't find how to do a scaling in one direction or another (X or Y or Z).
The Scale methods only support one argument! (X and Y and Z).

Any idea?
Thank you

Vincent.

The only way I can think of doing this is:
1. Create a block of the entities to scale using 0,0,0 as the insertion
point.
2. Insert the resulting block at 0,0,0
3. While inserting the block apply the X, Y, and Z scaling factors
desired.
4. Explode the newly inserted block.

Hope this helps,
Mike Weaver

1. Create a block consisting of the objects needing to be scaled. Use

0,0,0 as the insertion point.

2. Insert the newly created block at 0,0,0, using the X, Y, and Z scale
factors as desired.
3. Explode the newly inserted block.

Good luck,

Hi Vincent.

You can make a block of the objects you wish to scale, insert the block back
into your drawing specifying the desired X and Y scales and then explode the
block
