How would you resize an object in AutoCAD?

The process of resizing an object in AutoCAD is effectively accomplished using the SCALE command. This command allows users to change the size of an object uniformly or non-uniformly by specifying a scaling factor. When the SCALE command is invoked, you can select the object you wish to resize, define a base point (pivot point for the scale transformation), and then specify a scaling factor or drag to visually resize it.

This command is essential for maintaining the geometric integrity of the objects while altering their dimensions, which is critical for ensuring that designs remain proportionate and accurate. Using the SCALE command, you can handle different scenarios including enlarging and reducing objects, making it a versatile tool in various drafting operations.

The other options do not exist in standard AutoCAD terminology or functions. The RESIZE command is not a standard command in AutoCAD; therefore, it is not applicable in this context. Similarly, there is no SIZE command or DIMENSION command that directly executes a resizing function. The DIMENSION command is specifically used for creating, modifying, and managing annotation dimensions in a drawing rather than altering the size of objects.
