Hi Carnyx

First you can upgrade to 2.0.0alpha4 version:
http://librecad.org/cms/home/installation/windows.html

My example -using the scale tool
1. Draw rectangle 60 x 40.
2. Select rectangle by either -drag window around rectangle, Ctrl A or using the 'Select' toolbar (docked on right hand side).
3. Once selected, go to Modify > Scale.
4. Now just press return key > Specify reference point.
5. Choose reference point and 'Scaling' options dialog window will open.
6. Set the option fields
* Note at this point the options to use current attributes (line weight, color, type etc.) and current layer.
You need to check these boxes if you need to keep these the same!
7. In my example I have set to scale up X2.
Job done -hope this helps.
