Hello,

I would like to scale up a complete 3D model.

The problem is that I modeled everything in milimeters. Now, I would like to convert the complete model to meters.

Is there a scale up/down option or is there another way to do it? I am using Wildfire 3.

Thanks in advance!

brkica,
If you did not set the units when you started your model, you may find that your units are already set to in, even though all the dimentions are in mm. To fix this you will need to go to edit>setup>units and choose the proper unit system that you are currently using, click set and choose interpret units. Selecting this will change what Pro/E sees the units as, but will keep the values. From there, go back and set the units to what you want them to end up as, this time choosing the convert option.

You can set custom units here, effectivly scalling your part if you need to.
