      Hi everyone!

      I was wondering if anyone would know how to invoke the scale tool through ruby. That is, for my script I need for the user to be able to scale an object along one axis and the script would automatically scale along another axis in a corresponding manner. Isn't there a way to use the normal transformation handles to help with this?

      I hope anyone would be able to help!

          thank you so much! I am still not quite comfortable in ruby, though I have done some simple scripts before. I will try to make this work, and if it doesn't I may ask again. But for now this is great.
