Can I scale a sketch in one direction only?? I have an aerofoil section and want to make it 'fatter' and not longer by a known percentage.
Scaling a sketch in one direction only

*) Make a feature out of your original sketch, either an extruded solid or extruded surface. *) Insert-> Features-> Scale *) Disable "Uniform Scaling" *) Set your scale factor
Once your feature is scaled properly, create a new sketch and perform a "Convert Entities" on the outline, or just use the newly created feature as a separate multibody.
It's not the most intuitive method, but there are a few advantages as you can keep your original shape intact and use configurations to create multiple iterations of your design.
