Looking for help on how to scale a parts size.

I've created a sticker using this https://wiki.ldraw.org/wiki/Stickers:_ma..._shape_one tutorial as a guide.

Whilst the sticker I've created is the correct thickness, the size is too small. Is there a way to scale the part in the X,Y planes proportionally to my desired size in LDU's whilst leaving the Z thickness unchanged.?

Thanks in advance.

Since you followed this tutorial I guess you use LDPE... so it is simple:
- Calculate your scaling factor
- reset orientation and origin of manipulator
- Select the entire sticker (ctrl+A)
- Action -> scale selection -> fill in X and Z scaling with the factor previously calculated (and let Y scaling at 1)
- OK
