Increase diameter of a circle but not move center...

Postby fizgig10 » Sun Aug 12, 2012 3:28 am

Full disclosure: The circle is a path as it was imported from Autocad.

I know I can drag with the shift key to keep the object centered during scaling but I want to type a number in for exactness, not drag, and still keep it at the same centerpoint.

Anyone know how to do this?

Welcome to InkscapeForum!

You can use Object menu > Transform > Scale. Be sure to check "Scale proportionally".
