Scale Strokes & Effects

Applying transformations to objects that have strokes or effects applied to them can either just scale the object or scale the object and the strokes and effects. There's two ways to turn this option on. The first is a local method. Take a look at the Rotate dialog box:



At the bottom, there's an option for scaling strokes and effects. If you have an object that has patterns applied to it, you can turn off Object and leave Pattern on to just scale, shear, or rotate the pattern.

A global solution for scaling strokes and effects can be found in the preferences dialog box:



Turn on the Scale Strokes & Effects option and it will be turned on in any transformation dialog.
