    Default Scaling an assembly in one direction

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    I have recieved a .step file which is not scaled properly but only in one direction. I tried saving it as an assembly and then deriving a new component and scaling the component but the issue with this is that it scales the part in all directions when all I need is to scale it in the x direction.

    Any ideas??

    -regards

    I think there is a non-uniform scale tool in the SDK but I can't help but wonder if there is a better and easier way.
    Can you attach the orginal step file and explain how it is not correct.
