Scaling in SW or Inventor???

Rog/TN · Jul 13, 2007

I have a large set of drawings that I would like to scale down To 25% of original (building a prototype). Any (easy :confused:

) way to do this in Inventor or SW.
The only way I have found so far is to do a derived part, put in a new drawing, and re-dimension.

Now I might have missed something here, but how about just changing the scale of drawings? (SW: Properties, scale). Units and numbers will still be the same, but you will have a smaller drawing according to your change in scale.

Alternativly, if you need to scale down the model itself, you will need the model and not just the drawings. Given that, go to the part and select the solid body (not any features that will only mess it up) and use Insert, Feature, Scale, 0.25 or whatever.
