Drag to Resize

  1. Select the stencil(s) you wish to resize.

  2. If you wish to maintain the stencil's proportions, locate and click the aspect ratio lock in the Transform controls in the toolbar or right-hand sidebar.



  3. Click and drag any of the stencil's resize handles (white squares on each edge and at the corners).


  4. Drop the handle when your stencil is the size you desire.

    Note that this method will resize the stencil in increments related to the grid size. For more granular control, decrease the grid size or use the dimensional controls as described below.

Resize to Fit Text

  1. Select the stencil you wish to resize to fit its label text.

  2. Locate resize to fit controls in the Transform controls in the toolbar right-hand sidebar.
