Scale objects
Scaling an object enlarges or reduces the object horizontally, vertically, or both.

2 Select Modify > Transform > Scale.
3 Do one of the following:
• To scale the object both horizontally and vertically, drag one of the corner handles. Proportions are maintained as
you scale. Shift-drag to scale nonuniformly.
• To scale the object either horizontally or vertically, drag a center handle.
4 To end the transformation, click outside the selected object or objects.
Note: When you increase the size of a number of items, items near the edges of the bounding box might be moved off the
Stage. If this occurs, select View > Pasteboard to see the elements that are beyond the edges of the Stage.

Rotate objects
Rotating an object turns it around its transformation point. The transformation point is aligned with the registration
point, which defaults to the center of the object, but you can move the point by dragging it.
You can rotate an object with the following methods when using the Rotate commands:
• Dragging with the Free Transform tool (you can skew and scale the object in the same operation).
• By specifying an angle in the Transform panel (you can scale the object in the same operation).
