Sizing. Objects may be sized to any desired measurement. It is important to note, however, that while you may customize images to any desired size, the quality of cuts made may vary, especially when cutting thicker materials such as cardstock. Reducing the size of an image with intricate parts and cutting it in a thicker material is an example where the cut quality could suffer. You will be able to view the measurement alongside your image as you draw or select images. The Lock Aspect Ratio option when checked will ensure your image is resized proportionately when only one measurement is being altered but you wish to maintain the image’s proportions. For example, if we take our original leaf example that started at 1 inch height by 2 inches width and adjust the width to 1 inch, you can see the following results: There are also control points on the selection box for resizing images manually. To resize manually, simply click on any of these boxes and drag your mouse in the desired direction to make your shape larger or smaller. The corner control points will proportionately resize the image and maintain the relative height and width, while the side control points will stretch your image in the direction your mouse is dragged. The Scale menu options will also provide additional sizing options for more exact or specific rotation re-sizing options. Within the Scale menu you may select any of the following abilities. These options will resize any selected images by a percentage of its current size. Any number under 100% will make your image smaller and any number over 100% will make your image larger. For example, selecting to resize your image to 50% of the current size will make your image half as large while selecting to resize your image to 200% of the current size will make your image twice as large. Any custom percentage may be applied as desired.
