In UML visualization, you can manually resize shapes.

To resize a shape:

1. In the diagram editor, select a shape or a group of shapes.

2. Complete one of the following steps:
   • To resize the shape to a specific direction, drag the appropriate sizing handle.

   • To resize the shape while maintaining the shape's center of view, press the Shift key and drag a sizing handle.

   • To resize the shape in aspect ratio, press Ctrl and drag a sizing handle.

   • To resize the shape while maintaining the shape's aspect ratio and center of view, press Shift+Ctrl and drag a sizing handle.

Note: If a shape is manually resized, the auto-size default is turned off. You can turn on the auto-size default by clicking Diagram > Auto Size.
