AutoCAD Tutorials for Beginners (Step By Step) - 3-10 Scaling objects (AutoCAD 2023)

In this video you will learn how to activate and use the “Scale” tool, which allows you to change the size of an object proportionally. For example, you can increase an object size to double or reduce it to half. In case, you do know the current and the desired length of an object and not the scale factor, the command provides the “Scale Reference” option, which scales the selected objects based on a reference length and a specified new length. Detailed examples for simple scaling as well as scaling using a reference are given in the video.
