# Scale Constraint

> The Scale Constraint allows you to set limits on an object's scale and/or copy the scale properties from a target object. These properties can be independently activated.

## How to create a Scale Constraint

**1. Add a Scale Constraint to an object**

Use the Constraints section of the Inspector to add a Scale Constraint to an object.

**2. Choose a target**

Use the new constraint's fly-out menu to select a target for this constraint.

**3. Test that the Scale Constraint is working**

Manipulating the target object now causes the constrained object to Scale properties.

## Strength

The Strength property determines how much the constrained object is affected.

A Strength of 0% means the constraint won't have any effect.

A Strength of 50% means half the value from the target will be applied.

## Transform Space

### Source Space

Choose whether this constraint should use World or Local coordinates for the Source Space.

### Destination Space

Choose whether this constraint should use World or Local coordinates for the Destination Space.

### Min/max space

Choose whether this constraint should use World or Local coordinates for the Min/Max Space.
