Scale an element?
« on: December 15, 2012, 11:37:08 PM »
Hi all,

I'm very new to Winfig, but have used Xfig. In Xfig, I would use the scale button to scale an element. This is very useful for a lot of reasons. I tried using the "scale compound object" button to scale a single element but for whatever reason it doesn't work for me. Should it? How do you scale an individual element??

Cheers!

Andreas

Actually, you have to wrap that object into a compound and then scale the compound. That really works. You can scale the compound along x or y or both while keeping the apect ratio.

I admit the workaround via creating a compound is not very convenient. Perhaps I can find a better way.
