Right-clicking on an element and selecting Scale brings up the following dialog.

By scaling, you can reduce or enlarge an item horizontally, vertically, or equally in both directions. When you scale an item, all of the embroidery properties are preserved. After the scaling modifications are complete, the stitches are re-generated according to the new outline that you have created.
Remember that you can use the Scale tab at the project, design, or element level (element level editing is only available in the DesignShop or higher product levels).
You can scale multiple elements at the same time. You can also scale elements manually in the View Window.
Proportional: By having this option on (with a check mark in the box), you are sure to scale the design equally both the horizontally and vertically. If you would like to only scale horizontally or only scale vertically, you can turn this option off by clicking on the Proportional box (which will remove the check mark).
Horizontal: This is where you can specify an exact percentage or measurement to scale horizontally.
Vertical: This is where you can specify an exact percentage or measurement to scale vertically.
Column Width Adjustment/Pull Comp: This allows you to specify the X Pct and Y Pct pull compensation individually. If Lock is checked, the X Pct and Y Pct pull compensation will stay the same for each. Uncheck Lock to set different X Pct and Y Pct values. You can also set the X and Y offset individually if Lock is not checked. Offset sets the pull compensation equally down the element. Minimum width makes sure a column never goes below the specified width. This is especially helpful with small lettering.
Complex Fill Pull Compensation: This property works as it does in partition fills.
This feature globally scales all like elements in a design.
Column Density: This will scale the density all columns. This works with expanded stitches and wireframe elements.
Column Fill Density: This will scale the density of all column fills.
Column Fill Stitch Length: This will scale the stitch length of all column fill stitches.
Walk/Underlay Stitch Length: This will scale the stitch length of all walk and underlay stitches.
Fill Density: This will scale the density of all fills. This works with expanded stitches and wireframe elements.
Fill Stitch Length: This will scale the stitch length of all fills.
There is another way to scale a design. In the Scale toolbar at the bottom of DesignShop, left-click on the W or the H in the toolbar and a scale dialog appears.
This dialog allows you to scale your design by width and height percent. Lock these parameters by checking Lock. You can also rotate your design numerically in points.
