The old transform dialog has been on the move, and seems to be completely gone now (NX 7.0.1.7).

RE: How to scale curves?
Transform - Scale should (non associatively) scale a curve.

RE: How to scale curves?
I design plastic bottles. When I used "CAD system X", I could build say an 8 oz. bottle. If I wanted a 16 oz. bottle that had to look like a family to the 8 oz. I would figure out a scale factor, taking into account things that will change between the two bottles, like say weight and finish size. I could then copy the 8 oz. part and apply the scale factor. The system would multiply every dimension by the scale factor. The resulting part would be very close in volume and I just had to do a little tweaking to get it right. Every feature could be modified as if I had built the geometry myself from scratch.
I can't do that now. I have to go through each feature individually and modify every dimension. That's what I mean by not being associative.

None of the cheats posted would work here. Searched command finder for "x-form"... looks like a surface only tool. Searched transform and found what I was looking for, turns out I put the #@(*!# thing on my toolbar last time I spent a half hour looking for it but havnet used it since and forgot what the hieroglyphic meant. Looks like it isnt in the menus anywhere.... thats helpful.
