When you scale an object or a set of objects; remember that quite often the object may not scale in place That is the nature of the mathematics used inside. So dont worry, the objects do NOT get deleted. Just press ZoomALL and you would see the objects – or you can double click on the object name in the object list.

Note that you could even give a negative scale value. In that case; the objects would get flipped around.

Please do not give zero as a scale value as that is meaningless. Even 1.0 would be quite meaningless; because it means you are not scaling anything.

As in other command-line activities; you could place a calculation inside the command line intead of a value. For example if you gave x2*0.3 It will scale so that it is 0.3 times the size of the length of current edge..
