scaling a whole assembly

Jun 09, 2004 3 Replies

I want to use a third party assembly in one of my own assemblies but it is smaller than I require. Is there a simple tool or technique to rescale a whole assembly? It's not worth my time to insert design tables into the assembly and its parts and scale it that way.



TIA,



Steven


save it as an iges and scale the iges file?

If you're running SW2004 you can save the assembly as a part and then scale the part. (I think its Insert/Features/Scale, or you can open the mold tools menu.) If you're running older code, you might want to export it to Parasolid and then reimport it as a single part.

I believe this was available in 2003 also.
