component size

[siliconchip]

hi all having just purchased FC7 I'm wondering if there is a quicker way to alter component size ie leds etc in the 3D window ive tried to drag the item to increase size but this isn't working so I'm having to alter size in the properties box, is this correct or is there another way, thanks in advance

Hi
With me once placed the component on the 2D or System panel I just click on the component and then the arrows popup and when I then just roll the scroll wheel of the mouse I can adjust the size to what I want

Hope this helps you and if there are other ways I will also be happy to learn about them

hi QMESAR thanks for the reply I'm using a laptop without a scroll wheel tried your method but still cant alter the size unless I go into properties and alter height, width etc

Hi, What you can do is select the scale icon, then click on the LED, then a box will surround the LED.
Click on the corner and drag:

Hi Bob,
Your welcome.
Just as a side note.
If you don't see the scale icon then just click on the arrow as you could be in camera mode.

hi martin
once again thank you, ive only just upgraded to flowcode 7 and still getting used to it not keen on the black/red layout but ive changed this via "view - style and global options to get the back ground I want so no big drama there but I have to say this is a great bit of kit and well worth the money, I dare say I will encounter other difficulties as I go along and will be asking more questions but I take my hat off to matrix well done and thank you forum and martin
