Question
Hi, I work in the waterjet cutting industry and sometimes i receive architectural work that comes designed in auto cad, i have auto cad 07, the work i do is mostly stone or marble medallions, and sometimes i need to streach the same design to unproportional sizes, for example make a 4'x8' medallion and make it 4'x'4 with all the interior design shrieked as well, can i do this in autocad and how?

thank you for your help
Victor

Answer
Victor, my apologies for the delay. Since you said you need to modify the original design to unproportional sizes, the only cmd i can think of to use is 'stretch'. You can also use 'scale' to gauge or reference your scaling factor.
Hope this helps...let me know.
