Question on Sizing
Question on Sizing
(OP)
Ok, I completely modeled a part, but now for a class it needs to fit within certain dimensions so I need to change all the dimensions, extrusions ect, by 57% the original size, is there any way to do this?

Make sure you keep track of pre-scale and post-scale dimensions. For example, dimensions that refer to the part should be done (normally) before the scale feature. But dimensions that refer to standard mold components (such as a 5/16" dowel) should be done after the feature to remain unaffected.

2. SW allows in-line calculations (and units!) to be entered at any time you are entering numeric data.
So here is the simple approach - tedious, but probably quickest in the end. Edit each dimension/feature value. hit the home key (or left arrow) to get to the begining of the line. Enter .57* Repeat for each value.
If you want to do this a lot to the same parts, then it is worth building in a nice design table.

1 - free your sketch from origin relations (all other relations and dimensions can exist)
2 - select tools\sketch tools\modify
3 - in the scale about factor box put the desired scale factor (>1 to increase the scale; <1 to decrease) and press Enter
4 - redo the relations to the origin

Also, be sure not to scale any pattern # dimensions!
