The Scale command provides several options for enlarging or reducing objects. Scale by a percentage or ratio, horizontally and vertically. You can also scale text and stroke weights when you scale objects.
You can also scale an entire document when you print it, without changing the objects in the document, by specifying a scaling factor in the Print dialog box.
