Downsizing By Scale?

[blbisme]

I have a restraint on how much my object can weigh, and it turns out I made it too bulky. Is there a way to make every dimension in an assembly down0sized by a scale of say, 2:1? Any help would be great, thanks

Awesome, thanks cor. Just in case the macro causes interferences in the assembly, do you happen to know how to rescale individual parts? There doesnt appear to be a "Scale" option under Insert-Features, as SolidWorks help suggests.

"ust in case the macro causes interferences in the assembly, do you happen to know how to rescale individual parts?"
The ModelRescaler macro, linked in the above thread, only works on the individual parts. If all the parts are equally rescaled, no interferences should be created.

"There doesnt appear to be a "Scale" option under Insert-Features, as SolidWorks help suggests."
Go to Insert > Features > Customize Menus then select missing features. Or even better, RMB on any Toolbar & select Customize > Options then select both Show All buttons, this will make all the shortcuts & menu selections available for all functions.

Great. Thanks a ton again, man. Should work like a charm

Downsizing would not be "to 2:1", it would be upsizing. Do you mean by 1:2?
