PartDesign Scaled

Introduction
'Scale features' - This tool takes a set of one or more selected features as its input (the 'originals'), and scales them by a given factor. Since the scaling takes place around the centre of gravity of the selected features, they usually disappear inside the scaled versions. Therefore, normally it is only useful to use scaling as part of the MultiTransform feature.

Options
When creating a scaled feature, the 'scaled parameters' dialogue offers the following options:

Select originals
The list view shows the 'originals', the features that are to be scaled. Clicking on any feature will add it to the list.

Factor and Occurrences
Specifies the maximum factor which the features are to be scaled to, and the total number of scaled shapes (including the original feature).

Limitations

 * Scaling always happens with the centre of gravity of the feature as the base point.
 * See linear pattern feature for other limitations
