Scaling strokes and effects
In Illustrator, when scaling (resizing) content, any strokes and effects that are applied do not
change. For instance, suppose you scale a circle with a 2-pt. stroke from small to the size of
the artboard. The shape may change size, but the stroke will remain 2 pt. by default. That can
change the appearance of scaled artwork in a way that you didn't intend, so you'll need to
watch out for that when transforming artwork.
Note
If you choose Window > Transform to open the Transform panel, you will
need to choose Show Options from the panel menu.

Click the X, Y, W, or H link in the Control panel to reveal the Transform panel

(H) to
20 px
. Press Enter or Return to change the width, as well, and hide the
Transform panel.
