Scaling entire model or assembly

drew_patedrew_pate Member Posts: 1
I really love Onshape, it has met all my expectations. Unfortunately, I designed my whole model and discovered that it was too small. How would I scale the entire model without going in and editing each and every dimension?

    You can scale with the transform feature, but usually this option is only used to scale all the part uniformly (Generally to increase a part to create their mold, because the injected parts are compressed upon cooling after leaving the mold)

    If you want to scale a complete assembly, yo can:
    1. create a new context in the assembly
    2. create a copy of all the parts with transform and the option copy in place
    3. and then scale all the parts

    Usually is better to use the move face feature, like you can see here
