Scaling up an IGS

3D Design Volume Model
1

Hello

 

As part of a project, we have to integrate elements under a Gazelle-type helicopter.

To avoid redrawing the helicopter, I found it on " GRABCAD " in IGS format. The only problem is that I can't change the scale after importing.

Do you have a solution ? or an address where I can find it in 1/1 scale.

 

Thank you in advance,

Hello

 

A part-size record and then the SolidWorks scale feature doesn't work?

In the retrieved SolidWorks file (at the part level), do Insert/Function/Scale with the coefficient that is fine.

In short, like @Lucas! (too late)

 

If what you are retrieving from the IGES is an assembly, you can save it as a part (Save-As/sldprt option for external components) and then use the function as described above on the resulting part.

Problem solved, thanks to both of you, always so responsive Lucas:-) .

 

Have a nice day.
