<p>Devilly: 'The rotate tool' had to be 'The scale tool'.</p> <hr /> <div>&lt;!--Categories--&gt;<br /> [[Category:Tools]]<br /> [[Image:Scale_icon.png|64px]] &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:150%&quot;&gt;'''ALT-S'''&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> The scale tool works much like to [[Normal Tool]] except for when multiple ducks are selected. To see this, select multiple ducks, by either:<br /> * pressing Control-A to select all ducks<br /> * dragging a rectangle around a group of ducks<br /> * holding the Control key while clicking ducks to toggle their selected status<br /> <br /> Then drag one of the selected ducks. All the selected ducks will be scaled relative to the centre of the selected group.<br /> <br /> The scale tool has a tool option, 'Lock Aspect Ratio', which when selected will prevent you from changing the x:y ratio of the bounding box of the selected ducks.<br /> <br /> When scaling a selection don't drag a duck that its position is close to the X or Y center of the bounding box. Select a duck that is close to one of the corners of the bounding box. If you drag from a duck that have a X or Y coordinate that is the same than the center of the bounding box it would produce an infinite scale factor and a very difficult to contorl scaled shape. (The ducks that aren't over the bounding box X or Y center are sacaled by a huge factor). This is a behavior that should be corrected (for example giving to the user corner pulling anchors to allow make a correct scaling).</div>
