# STRETCH Command [GstarCAD 2020](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2020/Index.md) → [Commands](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2020/Commands/(Commands).md) → [S](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2020/Commands/S/(S).md) The STRETCH command is used to stretch selected objects by crossing-window or crossing-polygon. ## Command Access: > **Ribbon:** Home \>Modify \> Stretch > > **Menu:** Modify \> Stretch > > **Command:** STRETCH ## Command Prompts: > Specify base point or \[Displacement\]\<Displacement\>: > Specify second point or \<use first piont as displacement\>: ## Function Description: The STRETCH command could stretch objects partly surrounded in crossing-window. Users could move objects that surrounded in crossing-window; they could also separately select them. Some objects could not be stretched, such as circles, ellipses, and blocks. The STRETCH command only moves vertexes and endpoints in crossing-window and does not change vertexes and endpoints outside of crossing-window; as well it could not change information of 3D solids, lineweight of polyline, tangent, or curve fitting.   Relative Glossary: **Base point:** Specify the base point to stretch. **Displacement:** If inputting the second point, the objects will be stretched to a vector displacement from the base point to the second point. Pressing ENTER under the "Specify second point or \<use first point as displacement\>:" prompt, the objects will be stretched to a vector displacement as X, Y, Z coordinates of the base point. ## Other versions with matching text [GstarCAD 2016](../../../2016/Commands/S/STRETCH%20Command.md) · [GstarCAD 2017](../../../2017/Commands/S/STRETCH%20Command.md) · [GstarCAD 2018](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2018/Commands/S/STRETCH%20Command.md) · [GstarCAD 2019](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2019/Commands/S/STRETCH%20Command.md) · [GstarCAD 2021](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2021/Commands/S/STRETCH%20Command.md)
