How to change the size of a figure without changing the size of some layers

I would like to reduce the width of my plots, but when I do, the circle points are also smaller in width, and the only way I know how to fix that is by changing the size of each individual point, but that takes forever. Is there a way to change the size of the plot, and the x-y location of some layers, without changing the dimensions of those individual layers? 

 

Or maybe an easier way to change back the size of all circle points in a layer at once? 

 

Image shows original (left) and reduced width (right) with changing dimensions of the circle points. 

 

Thank you!

You can try using Object>Transform >Transform Each with a reciprocal of the original scaling. i.e. for an original scaling of 2/3 use 3/2 in the transform each. Lock all the layers you don't want rescaled.

It's not quite clear what you want to do.
