This command can be used to modify the size of the selected objects. Select this tool by clicking on the “Scale” button in the tool bar

or by going to the "Geometry" menu bar then to "Modify" and “Scale”.

There are two ways of scaling, either by indicating a scale factor or by reference. Scaling by “Scale factor” To graphically scale elements using a scale factor, select the objects whose size you wish to modify, activate the scale tool and set the base point. The application will create an image which will give you a reference point about the size of the objects you are modifying.

As you get closer to the point you have set as the base point, the elements you are working with will get smaller, whilst the farther away you move, the bigger they will get.

When the objects are the desired size, click on the drawing window again. The same scale factor is applied for both the X and Y coordinates.

To graphically scale using the "Reference" option, select the objects and activate the “scale” command, then right click on the mouse inside the graphic area to show the tool’s contextual menu.

Select the “Reference” option. Indicate the points on the reference line and on the scale line as the messages in the command console are shown.

You can also use the “scale” command in the command console. When you have selected the objects to be scaled, write the command “scale” and then input the base point as shown in the following figure.

To increase the size of the objects you must input a scale factor which is greater than 1.

If you wish to reduce the size of the objects, the scale factor must be between 0 and 1.

If no value is input, gvSIG will use the scale factor 2 by default.

Scaling by “Reference” If you wish to scale using the "Reference" option, select the elements you wish to scale, choose the base point, then input the letter "r" into the command console to indicate that scaling by reference will be used.

Specify the source point and the final point of the reference straight line and then input the source point and final point of the scale line.
