Editing Rectangels

I am trying to edit rectangles from 3mm wide to 5mm wide. The rectangles are rotated to an unknown angle. I can not just increase the size. The size is not 3mm due to rotation. If I select and drag the object increases on the perpendicular plane and becomes a parallelogram. If I increase the size by 2mm, same results.This is on a coffin box that has tabs and cut outs for assembly.

You can, e.g. Find out the angle with the info/measure tool, draw a new square with your measures and turn it with the required degrees. Then you can center it on the old and erase the original.
There are more options …

Go into shape properties and input your dimensions there.

It works fine and I didn’t know! Thanks :+1:

I didn’t either till I tried it.
