Scale Set of Points > Linear (Modify Menu)

This command can be used to scale a set of definition points at the same time linear (i.e. only in the reference line's direction).

Choose the points that shall be scaled. Click on points to choose them.

Definition points in Construction Aid endless lines and beams can only be chosen if both check boxes "Point markings" and "Also for Construction Aid" in the "Additional Information" area of the "Screen Settings" dialog are active. Otherwise, they will be ignored.

The starting point of the reference line can be entered using the mouse, by clicking anywhere in the drawing.

The end point of the reference line can be entered by clicking the mouse anywhere in the drawing.

The new end point of the reference line and thus the scaling can be entered using the mouse, by clicking anywhere in the drawing.

The possibilities which can result from moving individual definition points are varied. The consequences are equally various and can be unexpected. Many definition points have a close relationship to other definition points and can only be moved in certain ways. Under some circumstances, some definition points can not be moved because of object parameter settings. Be sparing in the use of moving individual definition points.
