NX4 Scaling unconstrained sketch

[wacio]

I have unconstrained sketch (company logo used for engraving). Is it possible to scale the sketch? It is possible to select for transform but actual scale command appears to do nothing.

You can't scale the sketch itself, but you can scale objects created using the sketch, such as a sheet body from which you could extract the edges and hide the body which in essence gives you a scalable 'logo', as seen in the attached model. Open the file and go to the Expression system and just edit the value of 'Scale' to whatever meets your needs.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Thank you John.
Yes, I was using local scaling to get the logo sized after creation. Just wondered if there was simpler way( since I have acale several pieces separately or attach them somehow together).

An alternative is to get rid of the sketch altogether. Extrude the sketch, extract the edge curves, get rid of the extrusion and sketch, scale the resulting 'basic curves' as desired and use those for a new extrusion (or add them to a new sketch if desired).
