[GstarCAD 2027](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2027/Index.md) → [Commands](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2027/Commands/(Commands).md)
**Function Description:**
This command is used to stretch selected objects by crossing-window or crossing-polygon.
The STRETCH command can stretch objects partially surrounded in crossing-window. Users can move objects that surrounded in crossing-window, they can also separately select them. Some objects can not be stretched, such as circles, ellipses, and blocks.
The STRETCH command only moves vertices and endpoints in crossing-window and does not change vertices and endpoints outside of crossing-window, as well it can not change information of 3D solids, lineweight of polyline, tangent, or curve fitting.
