Hi Daniel, Great hint! It works. I could not find the pscale command anywhere in the manuals or tutorials. Are there any other similar functions for editing objects (correcting values for A, B, C, H, V etc. of primitives) that would work in the Archer's CLI?

It looks like Archer has no commands for interactive editing. Even sed doesn't set it to editing mode. It runs the search command only. However, in this particular case "pscale -r sphere.s abc 2" would do it. Regards, Daniel 2016-11-13 11:03 GMT+01:00 Michal Hanus <mikeha...@seznam.cz>: > Hi Daniel, > > Thanks a lot for your help.
