Have you tested this on imported geometry? If it worked, please post what version of Creo.

 

PTC docs explicitly state imported geometry will not get scaled.

No, it is not possible to scale imported geometry using the scale model function.

 

Link to specifications on this:

To Scale a Model (ptc.com)

 

You can probably use the shrink feature from Pro/mold design to do it, although I have not verified this.

Explain in more detail what you need to do and maybe someone will come up with a work around for your issue. If possible, post the import data and explain how you need to scale it.
