I have a need to be able to derive a fully assembled model into a new Part Studio for scaling the model as a whole.
Can this be done?
I have a friend that uses a program called Inventor, and that program has that feature, so I thought I would ask.
Thanks for the help.

How many part studios were involved in making the assembly? Could you scale each of those instead?
Is this just for a one time thing or do you need to do more work with the CAD when it's scaled?
Exporting the assembly as a Parasolid (or STEP) and re-importing it into a single part studio would be another way to allow you to scale the whole thing.
You can make a new part studio in context of the assembly. Then Transform - "copy in place" all the bodies. Finally scale all of these as you need. E.g.
