How to scale a sketch parametrically?
Hi all, I am making a simple jewelry box, with the outline of a rose flower debossed into the lid. I created the sketch of the rose in Inkspape, and then imported the resulting .DXF into onshape. The sketch is very complex, lots of curves and vertices. I know that when you open a sketch, and it has no dimensions, that if…

PointsManipulator/TogglePointsManipulator Size?
Is there some reason that a points manipulator would be smaller when there's only one? Is this a bug or intended feature?

I need to scale a sketch in one axis only
I have a sketch on the x-y plane, and I need to scale it in the y axis only. I know that the transform tool can be used to scale sketch elements, but I don't know how to scale them in one axis only. It scales in x and y simultaneously, which I don't want. What am I missing?

Is it possible to scale around a circular axis rather than a linear direction?
I have run into a situation where it would be great to scale an object in a way that it would keep the upper and lower faces the same curvature (or the same thickness) but essentially act as a move face —> rotate in the chosen directions. The reason the move face wouldn't work in my case is I want a precise scale change…

How to progressively scale (feature pattern)?
I'm trying to find a way to pattern a feature along a curve, with each instance getting progressively smaller. I have this mostly working now in https://cad.onshape.com/documents/3f3ec37e1e353bb9998bd4df/w/b34f22505171e049af84230b/e/5c18dc15b37a5a597c65597d but the act of scaling also seems to be applied to each element…

Advanced Non-Uniform Scale Feature
Here and there I've seen threads or posts about the need for a non-uniform scale feature. I've written a little feature in FeatureScript capable of scaling in any chosen direction or set of directions. Choice between: * Uniform scaling; in the standard coordinate system * Non-uniform scaling; in the standard coordinate…

Exporting sketch as DXF - Scaling
I am wanting to get a part laser cut. I set my units to mm, dimensioned a major length to 76mm, and exported a sketch as a DXF for laser cutting but the company receiving the file found the scale to be incorrect with the 76mm length being ~3mm. How can I ensure I'm exporting the same scale as what is showing in the…

Editing a part after it's been scaled-up
Hi all, I need to edit a part after transformation and I have no idea how to go about doing it. I enlarged a part using the scale function in the transform menu. It was my hope that by scaling/enlarging the part, the sketches will update to show the parameters of the new enlarged part. This however didn't happen. Instead,…

Sketch scaling
There have been several posts asking about sketch scaling, but most of them have not been touched in a while. I was looking to see if anyone has created a faster work around than starting a new sketch with all of the dimensions based on a variable called "scale factor". As seen in the attached, I have a fairly complex…

Whats the easiest way to set a part in scale 2:1 to its original for a 3D print?
Hi, Simple question: I want to print a part but before exporting it I want to scale it twice as big as the original in the partstudio. So that 1mm in the part studio corresponds to 2mm of the printet part. thanks for your help, Arne

Modeling really small parts
An awful lot of the modeling I currently do involves parts that fit into a very small spaces...usually on the order of being less than 25x25x25 (mm). The zoom, pan, and scan seem to have issue working that small, either the tracking distance is much degraded or small mouse movements zoom the workspace right off the screen.…

Unable to Use New "Scale Uniformly" Feature
I read in this blog post that OnShape had introduced a scale feature: https://www.onshape.com/cad-blog/whats-new-in-onshape-apr-22-15 I am trying to use that feature in the model that I'm currently working on, but it's not showing up as one of the drop-down options in the "Transform" dialog. I am, however, seeing the new…
