Scale Command - AutoCAD

Question

I need to scale objects but don’t want to keep calculating the scale factors involved. Is there a way in which I can scale objects based upon a start size and an end size or by identifying another object which has the required size or length?

Answer

The SCALE command has a Reference feature saving you from having to work out what the scale factor is you just need to know the current start size and the size that you want the object to be after it has been scaled. There is a Points option that lets you pick the length of the objects should you not know either of the lengths involved.
