## Function Description:
This command is used to zoom in or zoom out the selected objects and keep the proportions the same during the operation.
Users can specify a scale base point and a scale factor to zoom. The base point is the scaling center that keeps still. The selected object becomes larger when the scale factor is greater than 1 and it is smaller when the value is between 0 and 1.
The base point will keep still, although the selected object has changed its size.
**Note:** On the annotative objects, the SCALE command can scale them relative to the base point, but the dimension of objects is not change.
