You can scale lettering objects vertically, horizontally and proportionally using the general properties or via the Special tab of the Object Properties docker.
Select the lettering object. The current dimensions appear in the Property Bar.
Adjust width and height settings either as absolute values (mm) or as a percentage of current settings.
Press Enter.
Alternatively, double-click the lettering object to access object properties.
In the Height field enter the height of your lettering object in millimeters.
Enter the width of your lettering object in the Width field as a percentage of the height.
For wide letters, increase the percentage – e.g. 140%.
For narrow letters, decrease the percentage – e.g. 70%.
Note: Letter height can vary between roughly 5mm and 200 mm. For recommended sizes, see Standard Fonts.
