How do you scale parts or sketches? I am new to this program. Did not see
command, nor mentioning in the book.

I'm not sure what you are trying to do so I'll throw some answers
together in the hopes that it helps.
In the modelling environment, everything is done full scale. If the
part is 100 feet long, dimension it as such.
When you create a view of the part in a drawing, you insert it a a
suitable scale.

There are at least three methods. All are a bit awkward.
1) You can do a derived part which has an input for scale factor.
2) You can define a user parameter and multiply the part dimensions by the
parameter. Set the factor to 1 for full scale and just change the value to
scale all dimensions.
3) You can also drive the part dimensions from a spreadsheet and scale the
values by a factor. This method works pretty much like 2).

Thanks for your help. I need to scale my part to get right shrink.

In that case I would use a derived part - that is if the shrinkage is equal
in all directions.
