AutoCAD Self-paced Learning Modules

AutoCAD 2D
Module 25
Scaling and Stretching
Learning Outcomes:
When you have completed this module, you will be able to:
1. Describe and apply the STRETCH and SCALE commands to change the size and shape
of existing objects.
Stretching Objects
The STRETCH command has a great many uses. You can stretch objects on the drawing
either making them larger or smaller. Using this command is a good way to edit the shape of
objects without having to erase and redraw it or portions of it. Once you can identify when and
where to use STRETCH, your drawing speed and productivity will increase. You will be amazed
at the number of ways you can use this command, so always keep it in mind as you edit your
drawings.
2004-2008
2000-2002
The STRETCH command requires that you use a crossing window to select
the objects. It moves the objects that are totally inside the window and
stretches the objects that cross the window. You MUST use a crossing
window at all times with this command.

Object to be Drawn
Step 5 Enter the STRETCH command
below to stretch the object. See Figure
Step 5A and 5B.
Command: STRETCH
Select objects to stretch by crossing-window
or crossing-polygon...
Select objects:
Specify opposite corner: 4 found
Figure Step 3
(Use a crossing window and locate it as shown in the Figure Step 5A. You MUST use a crossing
window.)
Select objects:
Specify base point or [Displacement] <Displacement>: 0,0
Specify second point or <use first point as displacement>: @1,0
(The lines that the crossing
window cross are stretched 1
unit longer and the lines
totally inside the crossing
window are moved 1 unit in
the positive X direction.)

Scaling Objects
The SCALE command can be used in many ways. An object can be scaled either larger or
smaller by using a scale factor or by using a reference as you did in the ROTATE command. It
scales the object around a base point. This base point is the only location that does not change
as the object is scaled around this location.

Figure Step 21
2. If you use a scale factor of 0.5 you are scaling the object by one-half the height and one-
half the width. Therefore, the scaled object is one-quarter its original size.

Construction Hints
Do your best to complete the lab exercise drawing without using the following hint(s). If you get
stuck and can't complete it on your own, use the following hint(s) to help you.
Hint 1
Figure Hint 1-1 - Draw the object as shown. If you draw 2 lines and an arch for the center, you
can then array it 16 times.
Figure Hint 1-2 - Insert two fillets to draw the inside arcs. After you trim what you need, you
can then array it 16 times.
