resizing a "circular" shape

Is it possible to resize a circular Shape (such as the way you can resize a rectangular shape) created by using Shape>Circular command? This would be for example a circular shape created on the Package Geometry/Dfa_Bound_Top layer during creation of a new package symbol.

     Try Edit->Zcopy and just put the copy on the same layer.  Use "expand" or "contract" as required.  Then delete the older shape...

     I took a class on these tools from someone who had been working with cadence products way back when a Gerber flash was created using a wheel and a light source. The message was if it takes you longer than a couple minutes to do something chances are you’re better off deleting it and starting over.

    This feels like one of those cases.

     Hmmm...good comment from a newbie poster.  Takes about 20 seconds.
