You can modify the size of a template component or object.

Do the following:

  1. Select the component or object and double-click to open the properties dialog box.
  2. Depending on the template component or object modify the size, length or radius.

    For some template objects, such as imported pictures, you can retain the aspect ratio by clicking Keep aspect ratio in the properties dialog box.

  3. Click OK to save the changes.

Template components and objects can also be reshaped (and resized) by dragging the resize handles. To do that select the component. If you hold down the Shift key while you drag, it will retain the aspect ratio. Note that dragging the handles of polylines, polygons and free form areas is the only way to resize them.

When you resize template objects, you can see the measures of the objects on the Status bar.
