Scale Referencing

Scale Referencing

RE: Scale Referencing

(OP)
Actually, I would like to know if you can scale a new sketch by referencing a known existing entity(like in AutoCAD), such as existing line work with a known dimension that you would like to scale the new sketch in reference to(scaling larger or smaller) while keeping the new sketch design intention in complete proportion to itself?

RE: Scale Referencing

I'm not sure how the feature you want works in AutoCAD (I probably did several years ago), but I don't believe there's an option besides scaling by a scale factor in SolidWorks.
