How to Resize Objects

The sizes of objects in the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM can be changed by simply dragging, or you can set a particular size of any object. It’s often necessary to set the desired size of an object manually. We have improved the ability to perform this task, and you can now easily enter your object’s dimensions. Using ConceptDraw DIAGRAM, you can re-size an object on the page using absolute measurements instead of a mouse. There are a number of options when resizing an object, one of which being the use of Size boxes. It is the most convenient and easy method. You can make quick work of designing complex drawings using a combination of different-sized items. The basic methods of object size handling are common for both macOS and Windows platforms.

  1. Select an object.
  2. To resize a simple geometrical object, such as a rectangle, drag a selection handle with a mouse until the shape is the size you want. To resize the shape proportionally, drag a corner handles.
  3. resize-objects-in-diagram
  4. To resize a shape by entering a value manually, use the Arrange&Size side panel. Enter new dimensions in the units that are predefined for the current document.
    Note: If you need to specify the real dimensions of a large object, for example furniture entities for your building plan, do not forget to pre-set the scale in the Document Properties window.
  5. resize-diagram-object
  6. To show dimensions in the drawing, go to the View menu and check the Shape Sizes box.
  7. Now the selected object displays its size.
