Scaling layout objects
-
Hey all.
Im new to 2014 Layout (had the 2007 version which i used extensively) but would like to catch up on developments. I have a couple of questions.-
Can we scale Layout "objects"? eg take a simple box for example which measures 100mm x 100mm. You want to scale it in proportion eg up or down by 50%. If so this would allow you to scale objects from your scrap book to suit the scale of your details.
-
Like Sketchup has plugins, does Layout have any and where can you find them to browse the features.
many thanks
Jeff

Yes. Select the object and drag in the desired direction. Stop dragging and type the scale factor in the box at the bottom of the screen. if you want to scale it down by 50% type .5,.5 and hit Enter.

No. There are no plugins for LayOut.

thanks for reply, yip found the scale tool.
Wouldnt it be great if you could scale scrapbook objects on import to drawings...eg 1:1 down to 1:10 or 1:20?
