Simple Scaling Question
Simple Scaling Question
(OP)
This is a very basic questions, but Ive never learned how to do it. I created a part in MM on accident, and now I need to switch the part to inches. Is there a simple way to convert the part from mm to inches? Thanks






RE: Simple Scaling Question
Seriously, it sounds as if your scaling of dimensions is now off by a factor of 25.4, right? You can simply use the Scale feature to scale. It's a bit cheesy doing it that way, since Scale is a feature--so all dimensions before your Scale feature won't match with any dimensions after your Scale feature. But if it's just for a quick modification, it should work. For production, you'd probably want to change all the dimensions by the proper factor--after switching units in Options--one feature at a time (roll back to first feature, change sketch/feature dimensions, roll down one feature, etc.).

RE: Simple Scaling Question
It changes the actual dimensions en masse and does not add a feature.
