Scaleing a part in an assembly
Scaleing a part in an assembly
(OP)
Hi,
I tried searching the forum for some information on this, but was unsuccessful in finding anything.
I would like to insert a part into an assembly, but scale it to a smaller size. I don't want to re-draw the entire part smaller, and am hoping there is a way to simply scale it a percentage.
Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks!
Tim

RE: Scaleing a part in an assembly
- create a new part
- Insert/Part Copy (browse to the part you want to scale)
- Choose a different scale in the parameters window
- Save with a different name *****_scaled.par for example
Now you can insert this scaled part in your assembly. If your original part is modified, the scaled part will be modified as well (as long as the link is functionnal)

I thought there was something obvious I was missing. Inserting part copies isn't something I find I do often, I hadn't even thought of the scaling option there.
Thanks for the help.
