: Scale by selection I have received a PDF-template from a printing company that, among other things, contains an object like this: Unfortunately, the measurements printed next to it are nowhere

I have received a PDF-template from a printing company that, among other things, contains an object like this:



Unfortunately, the measurements printed next to it are nowhere near the actual object dimensions. I already scaled the template manually according to my needs, but I wondered whether there's a clever tool in Illustrator that lets me do this.

I'm thinking of a tool similar to the measurement tool, that let's me measure the height of the orange square, change its height, but then resizes the entire template based on the change I made. Can this be done?

You can use transform window and width and height value changer on the upper right corner as shown.

Not without scripting it.

You can always just change the W and H fields in the control bar size something to a specific size.

So you could select that entire object, orange and black, and then just enter 341mm in the H field.
