Precise scaling in macdraw: 1.) Turn grid on. 2.) draw a square larger than the subpicture you want to change over the subpicture, so it entirely covers it. 3.) drag the mouse to sweep out the square, and therefore what the square covers. 4.) Select group. This attaches the subpicture to the square. 5.) Resize the square along its diagonal. 6.) ungroup 7.) destroy the square. Your subpicture is now resized, but the X and Y ratio has been preserved. (This trick was taught to me by Fred Reif.) --- David Phillip Oster -- "We live in a Global Village."
