SolidWorks 2014 Tutorial 22: Scale Sketch Video Lecture | SolidWorks: Essential Training (All Commands included) - IT & Software

the next tool is the scale entities we
have this sketch from previous tutorial
so imagine if you want to scale this
sketch drawing by drawing it with a
smaller scale or bigger scale it will
not be easy to make all these sketches
to take some time to draw that memory
all the time so you have for this reason
discrete entities expand the movement it
is menu here you have scale entities
where you are able to risk a your
entities so this first control a select
the entire sketch ok or control a again
scale entities we have these we want to
scale they're all selected here scale
about we need to pick a center point for
scaling let's make this point a center
point and this scaling
let's make scaling to be 2 times bigger
if you check copy it will keep the
original sketch so let's check copy here
and you notice here you have the copy
and also you are able to make instances
on the so we have now you see the bigger
scale showing click OK
so we have the original small sketch and
then we have the bigger sized sketch is
ctrl Z to undo
let's try the other way to make a
smaller scale scale entities
let's make point 5 half the size without
checking T copy the Select key center
point gun selected somewhere in space
and here you have your smaller sketch so
this is
rescaling for the half size of your
sketch
also you are able to rescale some part
of the sketch with the same idea
