Scaling something proportionally? How?

[Silverback67]

I'm using Freehand MX.

An example of the problem I have:

If I have a rectangle that is 4" high and 7.3" wide,
but I want to scale it down to 3" high, and whatever that would be wide, is there some way to scale down proportionally, or do I have to manually figure out how wide it would be at 3" high??

ie. (7.3 /4)*3 = 5.475" wide

Proportional scaling seems like a feature that should be in Freehand, but I can't find it...

Thanks for any help!

Freehand just doesn't have this facility, though it's hard to believe.
Have a look at this guy's solution:
