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.

I just scaled an imported solid step file to test.

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.
