particular shape in either cm or mm, please refer to Section 7.08.
Percentages can also be used in the dimension settings. For example, if you want to double the size of a
shape, you can enter 200%:
Starting Size Enter 200% to New dimensions show
double the size shape is twice as large
Percentages can also be entered with an “R” added to calculate the reciprocal. For example, entering

“200%R” will result in the size being halved. Entering 300%R will make the resulting size 1/3, etc.
Fractions may also be entered with a space between the number and the fraction. For example, 6.5 could

If you hold the Shift key while dragging one of the four corners, the shape will be pinned in the diagonally
opposite corner and will rotate around that corner. If you hold the Ctrl key while dragging one of the four

corners, the shape will rotate in 15 increments. Ctrl+Shift+Rotate will rotate around the opposite corner in
o
15 increments.

If you need to rotate in increments other than 15 , go to Help>Advanced>Advanced Settings and change
