# Lock Auto Scale

| Click this icon to toggle between locked auto scaling and manual scaling.

In manual scaling, you can simply type a new value for the scale into the Y or X axis by moving your cursor to the bottom of the axis, clicking once, and typing in a new number.
Under manual scaling, the Auto Scale Once indicator will be extinguished. If auto scaling, the green indicator will light.
Be sure to go to manual scaling if you are using the Magnfiy Tool or the Hand Tool.
