Sketch Image Scale - SolidWorks

3D Design Volume Model
1

Hello

Someone knows how the new "Scale Tool" option of an image insert works.

You can move the image by dragging and dropping the axis, but then?

This axis can rotate, stretch, sometimes a change in the dimension appears and if you put a value, the image changes but I didn't really understand how it happens.

Could someone enlighten me?

Thank you

Hello

 

I found 3 tutorials on the subject:

But I admit that I have never used it!

 

Otherwise see the SolidWorks help on this function:

Or on the image insertion (where there are already interesting parameters):

I hope I helped you!

Ok thank you very much Lucas P!

In fact, you just need to:

  1. Select the left end of the axis and place it on the left edge of the image
  2. Select the right end of the axis and place it on the right edge of the image
  3. Then the redimensioning window appears!
  4. and then we can change the dimension which will change the scale of the image

Interesting as a new option!!
