The selection mode 'Crossing' must be used for this purpose. Therefore this mode is automatically and permanently preset and no other selection mode can be chosen. The endpoints of the same objects that lie outside the frame retain their position and are not altered. As a result, the objects change their geometry, except when all endpoints of an object are selected. After selecting the objects (more precisely, after selecting the points), a base point is chosen. After selecting the base point, the crosshair can be moved with the mouse. For verification, a rubber-band line is drawn between the base point and the cursor. When the crosshair is moved, all selected points move accordingly. This means that objects that were fully selected are simply translated, while objects that were only partially selected are stretched accordingly. This function is useful, for example, when one wants to enlarge a drawing (e.g., a floor plan) in only one direction. If one wanted to enlarge the drawing uniformly in all directions, the 'Scale' function would be more appropriate. When enlarging in one direction, some objects (e.g., several walls) are intended to be moved. The remaining lines that connect to the moved lines should be extended accordingly. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.dietrichs.com/dietrichs-intelligent-documentation/docs-de-en/2d-auxiliary-geometry/bearbeitungsfunktionen/strecken.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
