scaling a sketch
(OP)
Is there any way to scale whole sketch?
I am using sketch for a logo and need different scales.

RE: scaling a sketch
If the sketch is simple, you could 'scale' each dimension of the sketch, but since you mention that this ia a 'logo' I suspect that this approach would not be practical.
What version of NX are you using?

RE: scaling a sketch
If you let us know what version of NX that you're running, we could provide at least some examples of what you might be able to do.

1st I am using NX10.
2nd working in modeling and logo in sketch format
with transform command can not be done in inactive mode
only in active mode possible if make scale with copy option (not move option), that is problem logo will doubled (and destination layer change does not work).

Here is an example of Recycle Logo Sketch
need to bring to 3D model and engrave on 3D surf.
scaled for use in different parts.
Thanks

I downloaded the font and once on my system, I was then able to use it to create a 'Text' curve feature of the '♳' symbol. Since this is a feature you have complete control over it's size by editing it. Now it is true that the 'PETE' part of the symbol will have to be added as a separate 'Text' curve feature but then their size could also be controlled parametrically so you willhave direct control over their size. To show you how this worked, I edited your part file (attached below) by duplicating your example symbol using TrueType fonts and the NX 'Text' curves feature function (note I grouped the two features into a Feature Group just to make it easier to manage them. So for reference, the symbol was created using the FreeSerif font and the 'PETE' text using Arial with a 'Bold' option.
Anyway, take a look and let me know what you thin.

RE: scaling a sketch
It is OK for this and helpful, but it was a sample
I have different Logos (i.e. Customers, Recycles, ...) with different sizes
I think, I had to scale up each time with copy (using transform) and delete old one.
Thanks for you time
RE: scaling a sketch
If you really want to stick with sketches, you can build the scale factor into the sketch definition. Create an expression such as "recycle_scale = 1" (type: constant) and multiply each of your sketch dimensions by this scale factor. The user of the sketch logo would have to know about and change the "recycle_scale" expression for proper use...
