Scale Body command

The Scale Body command is located on the Home tab→Solids group→Add Body list→Scale Body.

Use the Scale Body command (boolean) to change the physical size of a body or several bodies within a part document. The need to change the size of a body is common in applications such as manufacturing molded plastic parts, where the size of the mold cavity is larger than the resultant part because the plastic shrinks as it cools.

The Scale Body command supports both uniform scaling, where the scale factor is applied equally in all directions, and non-uniform scaling, where scale factors can be applied individually to the X, Y and Z directions. The scaling occurs about the base coordinate system unless a keypoint is selected.
