Hello,


I am using Pro/E 2001 and I would like to change the scale of an assembly. I mean: now it measures 10inches lenght and I would like to make it of 8 inches lenght (reduction of 20%).


I know it must be really easy but I have being for the last five hour in front of my computer and I have being unable.


Help me, please

yberrista - just a point to make on scaling: If you're using relations and you scale a part or assembly then you'll have problems. What you need to do (if intending to scale) is to make an offset plane, co-ordinate system or other non-solid geometry feature (datum features are best) with an offset value of 1 (unity) and multiply your relations by this value. Changes to the model will then be reflected in your relations.
