Is there a way to scale just along an axis?

Alright. That’s a bit of a bummer, seems like a pretty basic function that’s in most other software.
Thanks

@Dcostigan What are you scaling?

Just a simple sketch that needs a little tweaking… I can always go back and edit the sketch manually. But it would just be a quick simple fix to scale along an axis. I’m more of a trial and error modeler than a precise blue print type. So being able to tweak rather then start over helps me out a bit. Oh well I can work around it.
