Changing lengths of all lines

Hello everyone,

Can someone please tell me an easy way to change the length of all the lines of my drawings while maintaining the same proportions?

Example: I have 10 rectangles drawn, width = 2 and length = 10. I need to change all widths from 2 to 6 and I need all the lines to change as well to maintain the same rectangle proportion. I need all the lines to change accordingly so that the length of all boxes is always 5x longer than the width.

How can I go about accomplishing my task?

change from (width=2, height=10) to (width=6, height=30) ?

if so, you can use Modify->Scale (make sure you use isotropic scale, when prompted)

Cool thanks!

 I needed to change my X lines of 32.5 to 2, so I made the Isotropic Scaling X = 1/16.25.

you can type 1/16.25 in the input box for scaling factor

our command line also works as a calculator, for example:

cal 1+1

Cool thanks! No more having to pull out the cheap computer calculator :)
