- Scale To Linear Dimension (M/W)
- This command scales an object by clicking on the start point and end point of a reference line then, a dialog will ask for the length of the reference line. The object will then be scaled (from the line's starting point) to fit the reference line to to the new length.
- Scale from Point (M/W)
