Resizing an object in Prusa slicer 2.9.4
I have imported an object into the slicer and I want to slightly increase its dimensions; x by 3% (90mm to 92.7mm) and y by 3% (100mm to 103mm) while leaving z at its original 110mm. Whether using the sliders or the icons in the object manipulation area I'm not able to to get the diferential manipulation to work, I can have all at 103% or all at 100% and nothing else. I have read several tutorials which refer to an icon in the object manipulation area which unlocks the axes and enables exactly what I want, unfortunately this now seems to be a reset button. Any hints would be much appreciated. Thanks.

To the left of the scale factors and size is a little icon that by default looks like a locked pad lock. Click the padlock and it should change color and look like an unlocked padlock. This should allow you to do what you want.
As an example, I added a primitive box object to the bed to get a cube 25mm to a side. I then clicked the padlock to unlock it and changed x and y to 103%. See this screenshot (I put a red box around the padlock icon) in dark mode:
I forget the colors for the lock icon in non darkmode. 😉

Thank you. I have spent an entire evening not spotting that!
