I have a complex assembly that was 1

[matthewk42]

I have a complex assembly that was modeled based on component dimensions that represent a "cold" size. I was given a scale factor of 1.00415 to get to the "warm size" dimensions. Is it possible to scale an entire assy at once or must I scale each part individually? Here's what Im doing now and it works but seems awfully laborious.
1. Copy and paste steps in part tree to create a second identical body.
2. Group steps into "Cold" and "Warm"
3. Create reference set for "cold" and "warm"
4. Create "cold" and "warm" reference set of assy.
5. Set each part ref set to "cold" then select those bodies to define "cold" assy ref set.
6. Repeat step 5 for "warm"

To speed up steps 1 & 2, look into extract body (at timestamp) if you want to keep the bodies in the same part file; or wave linking if you want to create separate but associative files for the warm & cold state.
