[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.
