Scaling an object by dragging using the selection handles

To scale an object by dragging using the selection handles

  1. In the Enfocus Inspector dialog, click the Select Objects tool .
  2. Select the object(s) you want to scale.
  3. Move your pointer over one of the handles in the corner of the bounding box, until it becomes an arrow as in the graphic below.




  4. Hold down the left mouse button while dragging the handle to the desired position.
    • To scale the object around the center of the selection, hold down the Alt key.
    • To scale the object proportionally, maintaining the height-to-width ratio, hold down the Shift key.




    If multiple objects are selected (as the two text segments in the graphic below), they are all scaled in one go.
