Not maintaining aspect ratio in "Modify Features"

Question

In "Modify Features" tool, I want to change "size" of selected features while NOT maintaining the aspect ratio like Microsoft's powerpoint. However, the tool always keeps the aspect ratio of features. How should I do it?

Hi Takahiro,

Look into using the Transform tool: Transform features—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

It will allow you to scale, rotate, skew, translate, and rubbersheet groups of features. It will give you a lot more control over placement than the Scale tool, which by the way, does offer a secondary anchor for snapping by hitting the S key, but it still does maintain the aspect ratio.

In the Transform tool, I think the Affine method will work for what you want to do.

Does that help?

Thanks,

Scott
