6.Using the left mouse button specify the second destination point (Point 4 in the picture above).
7.Click Yes in the appeared enquiry window to make the objects change their scale as a result of alignment.
The first destination point is the base point against which the aligned objects will be rotated and scaled.
The second destination point defines the vector for objects rotation during alignment.
