Scaling a Part Model

Does anyone know How or IF, Solidworks can scale an entire part? In ProE, you can create alternate size parts by simply SCALING the model and saving the part with a different name. I need a larger version of a fitting that I already have a model for, but in a smaller trade size. Having to manually adjust every model feature dimension manually is impractical, if not impossible, without creating numersous incompatible feature regeneration errors.
 
Hi Paul,


Looks like you can select the solid body, go to Insert->Features->Scale, and scale the part.


This is on SW 2005 SP 2.
