scale drawing elements

Hello fellow
In a drawing I have a big number of curves. This closed symbol I´d like to have in a scale of 50%.
How to do this?

    I think you meant in the sketch.  If so the following applies and please let us know if I misunderstood.

    Instead of a scaling tool in sketch Onshape does the following:  All the geometry of sketch will scale to the first (and only) dimension that is entered.  This even works if you delete all other previous dimensions. Other constraints are fine and just keep the geometry similar.  See attached gif.

    Hello Bruce, 
    this is strange. Only one dimnote and it works. Thank you verry much.

    maybe esoteric till you get it and then the word I use is elegant.  Now you have the power!
