Uniformly changes the size of all dimensions in selected 2D sketch geometry. Constraints shared between the selected geometry and unselected geometry affect scale results.

Scale
- Select
- Specifies the geometry to scale. Turned on by default when you activate the Scale command.
- Base Point
- Sets the start point about which the geometry scales. When selected, to enter X and Y coordinates of the base point, click in the graphics window, or select the Precise Input check box and enter values.
- Scale Factor
- Sets the exact value by which to multiply the dimensions of the selected geometry. A value less than 1 decreases geometry size. If you enter a value, the factor remains fixed at this value until you change it or click in the graphics window.
- Precise Input
- Turns on or off the Precise Input toolbar, where you enter exact coordinates for the base point and endpoint. Also available from
Sketch tab

Precise Input
- Optimize for Single Selection
- After you select geometry, automatically advances to Base Point selection. For multiple selections of geometry before you select the base point, clear the check box.
- Apply
- Click to commit to the Scale value. The dialog box remains open and you can make additional changes.
(More) - Expands the dialog box where you set overrides for dimensional and geometric constraints while editing a 2D sketch. The overrides are in effect until you end the current session, or change the settings.
- Relax Dimensional Constraints
-
- Never Does not relax dimensions. The scale operation obeys all dimensions associated with the selected geometry. If the operation fails, displays a dialog box.
- If No Equation Does not relax dimensions that are a function of any other dimension..
- Always After the scale operation completes, recomputes all linear and angular dimensions associated with the selected geometry.
- Relaxes all dimensions outside of the selection set.
- Relaxes all dimensions inside the selection set, except angular dimensions.
- Prompt (Default) If the scale operation does not complete, a dialog box explains the problem, and offers solutions.
- Break Geometric Constraints
-
- Never Does not modify geometric constraints. The scale operation obeys all existing geometric constraints. If the operation fails, displays a dialog box.
- Always Deletes only fixed constraints associated with the selected geometry. Deletes all constraints between the selected and unselected geometry, except Parallel and Perpendicular constraints.
- Prompt (Default) If the scale operation does not complete, a message explains the problem.
