Making a copy of the scaled object

If you want to scale the drawing and want to keep the original object too, this can be done using the Copy subcommand of the Scale command. To do this, once again start the Scale command and then select the window symbol and press Enter. Now, click on a point to specify the base point, in this case, I am once again selecting A as the base point. Now, the command line will prompt you to specify the scale factor and, in the subcommands, you will notice the Copy and Reference options. Click on the Copy option from the command line or type C and press Enter to select the Copy subcommand:

Now, type the scale factor. I am using a scale factor of 0.5, in this case. Then, press Enter and you will have two window symbols now: an original one and another one that is half the size of the original one as shown:

After making a scaled copy of original objects, let's talk about changing the scale of the object with respect to a reference.
