4. Using Object Transform
From menu bar we select:
- From menu bar select - Object (img 1)
- Transform... (Shift + Ctrl + M) (img 1)
- From Transform window select Scale tab (img 2)
- Select Scale proportionally check-box (img 2)
- Select px (or other options like %, mm, in, cm) (img 2)
- Enter for example 200 px in Width input and click Enter (img 3)
- Height will change to 200 px automatically (img 3)
