Eventually, before scaling, create a block, it will prevent you from moving everything when you select an edge

With the scaling you keep the proportions.so you don't fall right, you can't stretch like with a sketch image
thank you for the quick answers!!
Hello
Can you give us the part?
may the force be with you.
nothing prevents you from making an image of your DXF
and to import this image into a sketch image
so there you will be able to stretch or contract proportionally your sketch image for your sheet metal
You are missing a line at the top right to take the correct outline of the cut-outs

In order not to keep the proportions, you have to make a block, you can then differentiate the scale coef according to the axes (there is probably a check/uncheck box somewhere)

I made a block but I can't find how to differentiate the scales.
I can make an image but I have to trace all the shapes for each project so it's really too long
the file in pj

Sorry, I wrote too quickly: indeed, you can't make a different scale on the blocks.
So, you have to find a dxf file editor that allows the operation. Take a look at this discussion (https://www.lynkoa.com/forum/draftsight/non-la-fin-de-la-gratuit%C3%A9-de-draftsight), there are several avenues that are proposed.

Hello, what exactly do you want?
or a homothety equal to x y in order to keep the proportions
Let us have an unequal homothety in x y to adapt the shape to the part.
may the force be with you.

I'll look at the link
I want uneven to fit the shape to the room
Thank you for your answers
One thing is for sure it can't be proportional
since your DXF sketch is 1500* 500
your sheet metal 1250*450
so a ratio of 1.2 on the length
and 1.1111111111 across the width
Is there a choice to be made.....
Hello
See if the attached file suits you, it must be 1250x450 once imported (in mm) into SW.
Kind regards

Here is your part via sketch image
About 2 hours of work via Coffee Break
At the right scale
a little thick since 20 mm
@+ ;-)PS:
With DXF-related style flaws
Volume curves can and should be changed
to be + harmonious
from my point of view

Hello gt22,
Are you slowing down:)
5 minutes of work and on the right scale:
Okay, it's only 5mm thick...
Kind regards

Hi @ d.roger
yes but me
I redid all the splines with a 1/1 hand
so yes it's Friday I'm slowing down...............; -)
@+ ;-)
I'm still in SW 2017 so I couldn't see your part or your way of doing it ;-(
but I gave you a +1 anyway

Thank you very much guys!
D Roger how did you do it??
Yes but I'm a bit lazy so:
- Use of an excellent old 2D drawing software (Onespace Drafting) for the transformation of the dxf sketch and this thanks to a function designed for this and native in this software.
- Insertion of the dxf, in mm, in SW.
-extrusion.
Kind regards

Hats off @ D.Roger.................+1000
which does not prevent from my point of view that it would be wise to review certain forms
for better room harmony

You need to download this software!
Thank you all very much
The company publishing this software has been bought by PTC, so we have to see on the side of ICI, provided that the functions to do this manipulation still exist, I haven't had the opportunity to follow its evolution ...
