I tried the ModelRescaler macro, but it didn't change anything. I got the dialog box to open, entered my scale and hit "Apply", then the computer thought for a moment, and that was it. No change to the part. Must have tried it a dozen times, and always the same result. I wound up just using...

Actually, the part in question is both full scale and 40% scale, at the same time. The part was designed to fit a 40% scale wind tunnel model. This is a fairly standard automotive practice. Once the parts are developed in scale (much less expensive to produce, and 40% scale wind tunnels are...

I have an assembly that was created as a model at 40% scale. I need to insert this into a different assembly that is 100% scale. Is there a way in SolidWorks to scale the first assembly by 2.5 times to make it match the scale of the second assembly?

Thank you very much! I had been beating my head against the wall with this for a couple of days. Your suggestion worked great.

Another note: When I try to move or rotate the assembly, I get the following error message: "The selected component is fixed. It cannot be moved."

I am trying to work with a large assembly that was created from a scanned surface. When the assembly was created, the coordinate system chosen seems to have been totally random. Is there a way that I can move and rotate the assembly so that the x,y,z axes of the assembly align logically with...
