Scaling Assemblies for Rapid Protyping
Scaling Assemblies for Rapid Protyping
(OP)
Hi,
Running SW'05 SP4. I have an assembly of about two dozen parts and I'm trying to scale the whole thing 1/10X at once to be saved as an SLT for the rapid prototyping machine rather than scaling each part individually. Anyone know of a "Scale Assembly," function?
Thanks,
Dale

RE: Scaling Assemblies for Rapid Protyping
I just tried this but you could save the assembly as a part then bring the part into session then apply a scale. The only problem is the solid bodies need to be repositioned. If you are doing a SLA model the manufacture will want individual parts not an assembly. I just got an enclosure done in SLA and I did all the parts individually. maybe I'm missing something here
