# Resize a graphic object using a mouse

You can use a mouse to resize all graphic objects.

## To resize a graphic object using a mouse

1. Select the object. Handles appear around it.
2. Place the pointer on one of the handles. A double arrow appears.
3. Drag the handle until the object is the desired size.

   Tip: | Drag a side handle to change width or height or a corner handle to change both. For perfect circles and squares press Ctrl as you drag a corner handle with the mouse. To maintain the aspect ratio (width/height), press Shift as you drag a corner handle with the mouse.
