I am drawing the Instrument board of a WWII airplane. Now I want to scale the Board to a 1/5 scale for a model airplane, but I don't know how to do this.
So how does one scale down a drawing in Solid works?

Yes it's simple but the 100 or so part in my model save to individual parts instead of one single part. I can't see to save it as one part.stl

Save your .sldasm as a .sldprt selecting "all componenets" checkbox. Open that new .sldprt file and save is as an .STL.

Also... you should have started a new thread for this new issue.
