Scaling an object enlarges or reduces it horizontally (along the x axis), vertically (along the 
y axis), or both horizontally and vertically, relative to the point of origin you designate. 
The default point of origin is the object’s center point.

To scale stroke weights and effects when you scale objects by dragging the bounding box 
or the free transform tool, select Scale Strokes & Effects in the General Preferences dialog 
box. When scaling objects by setting scale values in the Scale Options dialog box, you can 
turn the Scale Strokes & Effects option on or off (this option overrides the General 
Preferences option).
