Hi there tino,
try the following procedure
- Select an object and press CTRL+C to copy it into the clipboard
- Press CTRL+V to paste in the object
- At the prompt “Specify insertion point:” type X and press ENTER
- Enter the desired scale factor and press ENTER
- Specify the Insertion point
- Select an object and press CTRL+C to copy it into the clipboard
- Press CTRL+V to paste in the object
- At the prompt “Specify insertion point:” type X and press ENTER
- Enter the desired scale factor and press ENTER
- Specify the Insertion point
Note: If you do not specify a different Y Scale factor, the scale factor you enter for X will automatically be applied in the Y direction too.
If you do want to specify a Y Scale factor that is different from the X scale factor, enter Y followed by pressing the ENTER key after step 4.
