Copying Shapes

Q. I want to make a smaller or larger copy of an irregular shape. The result should give me a number of concentric shapes. I have tried using the Scale Element function on the Manipulate tool bar to achieve this, but without success.

A. The easy way around this problem is to use Copy Parallel on the same toolbar. Few users realise that this tool can manipulate complex elements very effectively.
