Scaling Objects - Concepts

 

Objects can be scaled to increase or reduce their size in any of the three primary dimensions. The scaling factor can be applied to all dimensions equally with the Lock Aspect Ratio box selected. Alternatively, if you want to scale the object in the Z-direction only, uncheck the box and enter the factor in the Z cell. Individual objects, object Groups or Library Objects may be selected.

Labeling

Text labels applied to objects will retain their relationship with the scaled object. However, the text size is not scaled. Any moved text labels will revert to their default locations.

Calculation points

Calculation points placed on the Object surfaces with the Automatic Placement command will be deleted one the object is scaled. They can easily be recreated on the newly rotated objects using the Automatic Placement command again.
