Scale an existing 2d IGES in X and in Y

Hi,
I have some very nice IGES 2d data and I need to apply a scale factor to it. The X scale does not = the Y scale.

Can someone suggest how to do this?

Thanks,

If you have AutoCAD, if I remember correctly you can make a block of it, scale it independantly in X or Y, then explode it. I remember having to do that some years ago.

You can use the warp feature. You should be able to bring the igs into your
model. Go to Insert->Warp. Select your feature , then under References
select your Coordinate, click on Transform, press ctrl+Alt and pick the Jack
(blue cross), then in the option tab you should be able to pick what you
want to scale.

Hope this helps

Warp works on 2D data?

It will work on 2d data as well. When you bring it into the model, it will
be one feature. Once you get into warp, it will allow you to select the
individual curves, or other data
