In SKP, I learn how to use tape measurement tool to scale object inside group or component.
However this tip is not so convenience, and sometime I forget to edit inside component so the whole model dimensions are changed.
Fredo Scale tool
This one is very close to what I am looking for if it allow user to link all axis dimensions to allow user can only input one axis dimensions, and another 2 axis will be updated proportionally.
Thanks Box for helping again.
I have tried built in scale tool but it does not work.
For example if I would like to scale this cube from 440 mm to 1000 mm cube.
In input window, if I type 1000mm, I will not get the result I want.
That’s because your entered 1000mm apply to the diagonal.
You could scale x,y and z separately, but I think drawing the box to the desired dimensions from the start would be the best way…
Reason I use corner scale is I would like to maintain correct proportion. The real use case is not to scale simple cube, but mostly i will use to scale imported jpeg floor plan which mostly will not come with correct scale.
So if i can type correct dimensions lime Acad, it will make thing a lot easier.
If you pick a handle in the middle and hold shift, it rescales Uniformly, but you only need to type one dimension.
So, if you know the height, one would grab the top center handle, hold shift, drag in the desired direction, let go of the mouse, then let go of Shift and type the height you want it to be (still including units)
Thank you Mike,
I never know it!! I stop using built in scale tool for a while and change my default to Fredo scale.
This is very helpful to know built in tool can do this.
, seems no better way this trick until there is a new extension.
