Change scale of section view in NX 8.5
Change scale of section view in NX 8.5
(OP)
Hello Everyone,
I met an issue in NX 8.5. I almost finished a draft, when changed my mind and wanted to change the acpect ratio of the views. It works on every view I created, but the sections remain the original whatever I do. Does anyone have idea where I can make them follow the scale of the view which they were derived from?
Thanks in advance!

In the properties, there is an attribute called "VWSCALE" this is the only value I have found related to the aspect ratio, but it changes only the indicator on the draft, not the real scale.
I forgot to mention I am new to NX, just recently moved from Inventor. Things are quite different here, and probably I try to find things always on wrong places.

I know that i can do a non-proportional zoom in modeling, but that's a different story.
Right-click the border of the view or the view in the part navigator, - Style, on the General tab there is a scale option.

Thank you all for responding. Now, looking up the meanig of aspect ratio seems a little bit less bright idea to try mirror translate phrases from my language to english. At least it is funny.
Toost, you gave the solution. I do not know how I missed that point. I have tried first to find some similar option like in the base view: right click -> edit -> scale, but there is no such thing in the section view. Then tried to find something in the attributes, even tried the method what Mukundh suggested, however it seems difficult for a (normally) simple task. It is still illogical for me to put the same feature to these very different places, although if they just wanted to make this option more easily accessible it makes sense (just why they did not do it for all views?).

in the meantime I had a revelation, that Mukundh gave answer to my untold question, how can the scale change be made automatic.
