I have a 5mm keypad pattern for a membrane switch.
I want to rescale (resize) this pattern and all its layers (silkscreen, pads, signal plates, etc.) to 3mm.
There does not appear a way to do this.
Here's how it would work:
Solution #1
A user selects all the elements that are to be resized.
Go to menu and select: Edit | Resize | Selected Elements.
Click on the top right corner and drag towards center and all selected graphics are resized.
Solution #2
A user selects all the elements that are to be resized.
Right click on selected elements and popup menu appears, select Resize item.
Then enter "90%" resize value and click OK.
All selected graphics are then resized to 90% of their original size.
Need ability to resize pattern elements
Re: Need ability to resize pattern elements
Well kjhuebner,
i design PCB for hobby with DT and with other CAD to work, and i think that all you suggest is an useful function.
If i need to have a new device, starting from an other smallest i need redraw all.
An other way to resize could be to make a group and to have a function resize as group, at this moment there is a function "Flip as group".
In the same way it would be useful to draw horizontal or vertical line, as like press Alt or Shift button during the draw.
I hope that the developers will take inspiration from forum post to do next release.

I don't see resizing function on 2.9 release, Do you think something for next release or definitive release?
I would be very usefull, especially in pattern editor.
Thank you for your work.
