Object Handling 105

Rotating objects in Resize Mode

It is possible to rotate and skew an object even if not in rotate mode. Using resize mode,
move the mouse pointer into the according small areas near the selection area handles
as illustrated above. The mouse pointer changes into a rotate or skew icon, showing you
that you are now able to rotate or skew the object by dragging with the mouse.

Scaling (resizing) objects

This is part of the SELECTOR TOOL.

Scale Line Widths button
The SCALE LINE WIDTHS button on the SELECTOR TOOL InfoBar is used in many operations
where the width and height of the selected objects are important. It controls whether the
line attributes (not just line widths) are taken into account when working out the size and
position of the selected object(s).
