   The dimension value edit handle is displayed.

2. Do one of the following:

   • (Resize the model in the direction indicated) Type a value in the Dimension Value Edit dialog box and press Enter.

     2. Click the 3D arrow terminator to change the direction of edit, or click an arrow button on the dialog box.

     3. Press Tab to apply the change and leave the value edit box open, or press Enter to apply and close it.

     Tip:

     If you have a mouse with a wheel, you can rotate the wheel to change the dimension value.

   • (Apply a dimension edit equally in both directions) Do all of the following:
