scaling

[grunt58]

Having a brain fart here. I imported a file and it seems to be scaled up by 25.4. I can't figure out what to scale it down by to get it to the correct scale.

The dia I'm basing this off of imported in at 13.245" and per my customer it should be .518".

I think it has to be a decimal since I need to scale down the part but Im just not getting it.

What # do I put in SW?

I feel dumb. I figured it out after taking a step back and looking at it again.

Can you not import the model and select the units from the import options, instead of using the Scale function after the fact?

Did I miss something? On 09 importing a parasolid I don't see any import options except that it is an assembly and where to save the parts.

Did I miss something?

Not much ... just that the imported model was a parasolid assy.
