Scale a sketch 2

[fsh27]

Hi to all,

How can I scale a fully constrained sketch?

I´ve tried with Transform, but I can only create a copy of my sketch, with no associative lines, and without dimensions.

I´m using NX10.
Thanks in advance!

You will get the what you need if you scale the body being created by the sketch, utilizing scale body.

Unfortunately, there is no way to associatively scale curves in NX.

However, here is a work-around:
Create an extrude feature from your sketch; give it a start and end distance of zero. This will create a sheet body that you can use as input for the "scale body" command; the scale body command will create an associative feature. If/when you need to use the scaled curves as input for another feature, change the curve selection to "face edges" and select the scaled sheet body.

You can create a constant expression say s and set it to 1 ( s=1 )
now in the expression dialog change all the expressions that afect geometric sccaling
(angles are not) to (xxxx * s) where xxxx is the current expressions values.
after you do this.
your sketch is in scale 1 (s=1)
now change s to the value you need say s=2.125 and you sketch is scaled to 2.125.

Thank you to both of you. I´ve tried it and works well

Thank you a984928. I´ll definitely use this one. It requires a previous work, but it´s perfect for my particular case.
