I need to resize some drawings. Example I have a drawing that is 5.75" x 18".. I need to make the drawing 5.75"x 20.5" and also stretch all of the contents within the drawing and the dimensions. What is the best way to do this without re-drawing the whole thing?

 
Thanks

The Stretch command will stretch the objects along with their dimensions.  Are the dimensions "associative"?

What actually has to be resized?  The title block and border?

Im unsure how to tell if the dimensions are associative. The title block and border do not need to be stretched just the drawing. Id be happy to email you the file. Someone who knows what they are doing could probably show me how to do it fairly easily.
 
Thanks

If you use the Stretch command on a dimensioned object to lengthen or shorten it and the dimension changes then they are associative.

How many objects are we talking and are all of them or just some of them going to be stretched?
