Resize objects

You can resize an object using two methods. You can drag it or specify an exact width and height.

If snap to grid is turned on, the object snaps to the grid during the proportional resizing operation. The result is a slight deviation in the ratio between vertical to horizontal size. To avoid this deviation, turn off the snap to grid.

Resize an object by dragging

1. Select the object and then position the point of the arrow cursor in the center of a handle.

2. Drag the handle to resize the object.
