The stretch command will extend objects.

1) Activate the stretch command by selecting the Stretch button OR by typing in "stretch" and hitting enter

2) Use a selection window to select objects to be stretched. **If an object is completely selected, it will be moved instead of stretched**

3) Specify base point from where the stretch will begin

Note: Some objects cannot be stretched as it will change their definition (e.g. circles, ellipses, and blocks).

The scale command will proportionally enlarge or reduce the size of selected objects.

1) Select objects to be scaled

2) Activate the scale command by selecting the Scale button OR by typing in "scale" and hitting enter
