(OP)
Does anyone know how to scale an entire part include extruded, fillet, cuts in SW2005. I have a part with alot of features defined in the model tree. But for now I just use Pro-E to do my scaling, so all i have to do is open the part and press a button and it scales everything which is cool in pro-e, I thought SW2005 Office has the same option.

If you want a 1 - button fix, Customize and add the button.

RE: Scale
when I was working at a plastic injection mold manufacturer, we would scale the part we received from our customer to account for shrink in the part.
RE: Scale
The only parts I do that with are shrink tubings, but then I create configs to show the diff sizes.

RE: Scale
I have a part that was small until smcadman told me where the command was, I didn't have it check marked. Sometimes in my application it's better to copy an existing file and scale it than draw the whole thing over, if you know what I mean, and it has to be different from the other part because it's a different manfacture and etc. etc. etc, I think you get the picture. So I just had to increase the size by fifty percent, thanks for your help guys !
