Resize allows you to standardize the size of objects on your diagram, allowing you to make sure that your objects are all equal and appear tidy in the finished output.
This function changes the size (or proportions) of objects on your diagram to be equal to that of another existing item.
There are three "Resize" options: Same Size, Same Width, and Same Height. The following table shows the expected behavior for each (Object 2 is resized to match object 1 in each example).
| Name | Example (Before >> After) | Description |
| Same Size |  |
Matches the size of the selected shape(s) to that of the source shape. |
| Same Width |  |
Matches the width of the selected shape(s) to that of the source shape, retains the selected shape’s height. |
| Same Height |  |
Matches the height of the selected shape(s) to that of the source shape, retains the selected shape’s original width. |
Select an Object, or a group of objects, on the canvas.
Click Draw > Resize > Same [Dimension].
Where [Dimension] is replaced by: size, height or width.
The cursor becomes crosshairs.
Click the shape that is to provide the source dimensions.
The [Dimension] of the initially selected objects resize to match the [Dimension] of the source object.
The following diagrams show how the layout of a diagram will change if objects B and C are resized to be the Same Size as shape A.
| Before | After | |

Note: The Center point of automatically re-sized objects remains constant. This means that gaps / lines may increase or decrease in size, and objects may overlap.
