To Scale a Model
You can scale the dimension values of your model by a factor you specify. Assemblies must be unexploded in order to scale them.
1. With an open Part or Assembly, click Model > Operations > Scale Model. The Scale Model dialog box opens.
2. Next to Select scaling factor or enter value, type or select a scaling factor.
The default values is 1.0. The length dimensions of the model is scaled by using the factor you specified. If the scale is modified, the model is regenerated.
 
• When you scale your model, the model units are not changed.
• Imported geometry cannot be scaled.
3. Define whether or not the absolute accuracy value is scaled when you scale the model:
◦ To scale the absolute accuracy when the model is scaled, click Options, and then select the Scale absolute accuracy check box.
◦ To keep the absolute accuracy the same when the model is scaled, click Options, and then clear the Scale absolute accuracy check box.
 
* To set the default for whether or not the absolute accuracy is scaled when the model is scaled, use the modify_abs_accuracy_on_scale configuration option.
4. Click OK.
