Scale/Stretch in one Dimension

[alloftin]

I am working on placing boring logs in a profile.  The logs come in at a 1:1 scale but the profile must be exaggerated vertically.  Is there anyway to stretch/scale an object in one direction.

I currently just have plines, hatches, and text but can repaste it as a block if that will make it easier.

Make a block, then insert it with scale X=Y (1:1) and scale Z exaggerated.

Thanks!! I had been making the mistake of pasting as a block instead of inserting as a block.  Rookie mistake...

If the block is in the dwg, you can also select it and edit the x or y scale in the properties or quick properties dialog.

Hello

I've noticed one limitation in the block scaling method and curious about if there is a solution for it.

When scaling an mpolygon a burst or explode will be denied: "Cannot explode that block."

Any ideas?
