can a sketch consisting of splines be scaled?
(OP)
Hi Gang,
I have our company logo, i converted it to a dxf and inserted it into a SW drawing sheet. Then i copied the sketch which consists of mostly splines into my part drawing. However it's a whee bit too big. How can i scale down my sketch. It won't allow me to convert entities, or allow any sort of uniform scaling on the sketch or the feature alone.
any ideas?

Tools->Customize->and a pop up window comes up.
Go to sketch toolbar in the scrolling menu and in the window right next to this list all the sketcher commands come up, with a description of the command button when you click on it. The scale sketch command looks like two boxes diagonally opposite each other with an arrow/line? connecting them. Drag and drop this button into the sketch toolbar. This is a very helpful tool for logos.
I hope that this helps.

put the geometry into a block and scale it.
To make a block: select the geometry (and text) you want, and then pick "Tools --> Block --> Make". Then, the block can be scaled.
The block can also be saved to a file for future use.
