Question

How to change dimension of complete object (Creo 3.0 personal)

Hello,

I am a newby in Creo Elements/Direct. A supplier gave me an STEP-file (attached) which I want 3D-printed 87 times smaller than the files is.

I first started with the 'scale'option, but then the dimensions stay the same.

I think I am missing something.

Regards,


Arnold

Did you put in the scale-factor 0.0114942 ?

Normally the scale-factor is limited, so the scale 1/87 does not work.

Then write into the input line this:

(K2-UI::sd-set-min-scale-value .01)

Press enter and try again.

Best wishes !

Matthias

Thanks for your answer. This scalefactor is accepted (1:87 or 1/87 was not).
