SolidWorks 2014 Tutorial 59: Scale Video Lecture | SolidWorks: Essential Training (All Commands included) - IT & Software

in this tutorial we're going to talk
about this scale feature the scale
feature you are finding it in the answer
features and here you will find the
scale and the scale for example let's
say you have this box and you want to
create another box plastic box for
another customer to be two times bigger
or two terms smaller so creating this
box from scratch will require some time
so you have two choices to do either to
be with equation and it is quite
complicated for this or easier with
using the scale so the scale you will be
able to scale your part directly so
let's choose so join the centroid is
going to rescale it on its key wicket as
a center and not you know for scaling
let's say you wanted to times so here
you have your part is two times bigger
let's make it rescale it again feature
scale and route second option you are
going to scale it around the origin so
to not see a little difference because
this part is quite placed near the
origin this particular quarter the size
so here you have rescale
part so if you want to redo that shape
so it's better to use the scale that
receive you a lot of time and now let's
insert a coordinate system as we learn
in tutorial number fifty and it's
inserted in that part the x-axis let's
make it that
click okay you have our coordinate
system answer feature scale now we're
going to scale above the coordinate
system so let's make it two times via so
you have your continuous system as
reference for your scaling
