    I am new to Autocad so pardon me if this is a trivial question
    I am drawing elevations and need to scale objects on the x axis only.
    The only way I have found to do this is to create a block and insert
    the block.
    The problem I have is I can no longer clip (cut) the inserted object
    because it is now a single object.
    Is there a way to remove the block on an existing object in the
    drawing or is there a better way to scale on the x axis only.

    I am using autocad 2002.

    Thank you

    There is a lisp routine called xscale.lsp on my download page
    give that a try, it worked in R14 and I think I've used it in 2000

    Hope this helps
