Scale a shape in one axis only


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'd like to stretch/shorten an egg shape along the X axis only. The only work around I've found is to isolate the desired geometry and import it in to a new drawing, manually figuring the required X axis scale addition/reduction  then completing the import. This in not an ellipse but an organic shape simplified to just a few entities. Stretch just moves the object over.

I've searched the menu options in Bricscad relating to scale command, as well as searching the forums on the Bricscad site without finding an answer so thought I'd ask here. I'm using Classic Version 19.

Make a block of it. Then you can scale it in X or Y direction in properties.

Thank you, I'll explore that option. I haven't used blocks so am not fluent with them but will try that idea.

Like Quick&Easy block, recsale X or Y then explode and purge temporary block name.
