Hello

A few months ago I started on making the engine of the wrightflyer in inventor9, but there the blueprints are in inch and I've drawn the engine on scale 1/25.4 (1mm = 1inch) but now I found the design accelerator and I want to make the cams, gears and stuff with that but I can't work that small, is thare any chance of scaling the parts that I'm creating with the design accelerator?
 
You can derive them and scale them but they will be dumb solids. Or you can scale your other parts as long as they are fully defined by using the Scale Parts macro located here
