Changing PROPORTIONS of a drawing

[susanima]

Formal employee of a furniture factory has drawn proportions of cabinets wrong and I wonder if I could correct them somehow without having to change every line or group of lines separately. So can I change f.ex. cabinet's width without affecting it's height?

The way I can use the stretch command (also with "CP" and "WP") doesn't do it, examples are in the attachment.

Thank you.

Hi

Is it possible to post the actual drawing file so we can take a look...

OR

Maybe look at making a Block of the "cabinet", then you will be able to Insert this Block and apply different X, Y & Z scale factors.

With the above, system variable EXPLMODE might come in handy...

Have a good one, Mike

If these are isometric drawings (as they appear to be), set your grid and snap to isometric before you start making any changes.
[Right-click SNAP or GRID on the botton status line, pick SETTINGS and set GRID SNAP to ISOMETRIC.]

Here's an actual drawing file of another item, I would really appreciate if you could take a look. Meanwhile I'll try to follow your advice. The measures should be width=1000, height=800 and depth=320. (Not width=800 and depth=300 as they are now.)
Thank you.

It's not isometric, it's basically a freehand drawing.
One command that may help you is LENGTHEN.
For example, to increase or decrease the width, use Lengthen on the lines that represent the width of the cabinet then Move (endpoint to endpoint) the lines that represent the depth and height.
To change the pitch of the dividers (wire shelves?) use the Divide command.
