How to scale a sketch in Autodesk Fusion.

Solution:

There are two ways to scale sketch geometry in Autodesk Fusion, inside a sketch and outside a sketch:

 

  • Use the Scale command inside a sketch:

Note: With this method it is possible to scale all or just a portion of sketch geometry.

  1. Edit the sketch.
  2. Modify > Sketch Scale.
  3. Drag a selection box around all the sketch entities to scale.
  4. For the Scale Factor enter a decimal or fraction.
Note: The scale factor is a percentage with "1" equal to 100% of the current size, ".25" equal to 25% of the current size, and "1.5" equal to 180% percent of the current size, and so forth.
  1. Click OK.

 

  • Use the Scale command outside a sketch:

Note: This method will scale the entire sketch geometry.
