After reading the thread, I wrote in my notes this concise recipe:
Use STRETCH to elongate or squeeze an object. Use command stretch (ss) and firstly specify an area of the object to stretch: "specify first corner, second corner" defines a selection box. Then enable “Snap to endpoints” and chose object’s corner (for example point 0, 0) as reference point. Next type the offset in command prompt as the target point (x,y or use @x,y for point relative to reference point). Negative values will shrink the object, while positive offset will stretch the object.
