RE: Associatively scale curves
You must also be very careful not to scale twice as the transformations dialog makes it very easy to do this. If you select the Move button the curve will scale if you then select the OK button the curve will scale again.

RE: Associatively scale curves
- extrude a sheet body with your curve
- associatively scale the sheet body
- associatively extract/intersect with the sheet body to get a new curve
This becomes impractical as the number of curves increases. What is your end goal? Why do you need to scale the curves? perhaps there is another way to get what you want.www.nxjournaling.com
RE: Associatively scale curves
Actually, they were composite curves (about 30 connected curves) wave linked from another file. I have to scale the closed set of curves to compensate for shrink. Without being too specific, I extrude offsets of the curves for Boolean operations (does anybody still use the term Boolean).
I went ahead and created new scaled copies of the curves, but in hindsight, I could have just scaled the extrusions. (Duh!!!)
