Explain how "scale" and "stretch" can be effectively used in architectural layouts and mechanical designs.

Match the misconception with its solution:

• Highlight entire objects for stretching

• Partial object stretch or only some lines moved

• Wait for the screen to stabilize

• Screen acts up when scaling an array

• Zoom in/out or undo the action

• Object disappeared after scaling

• Use 0.5 instead of 50%

• Entered 50% and object grew too large
