SCALE

Purpose:

The scale way to transform provides two alternatives, namely: absolute scale, and relative scale.

For example selecting a relative scale of 0.5 doubles the apparent size of the entity, and 0.25 increases the apparent size by 4.0 factor. Conversely a relative scale of 5.0 reduces the apparent size accordingly. Thus the relative scale is the 'original' entity compared with the 'new'. The absolute scale works directly, that means,, not the reciprocal.
