Lengthen a model

[davidbwhyte]

Hi,

I am looking for help with Autodesk Inventor. A model imported from Solidworks needs to be "stretched" about 1 cm longer to accomodate some wires from a board to an LCD. I want to add length to the model at a plane through a particular region, as shown in attatched pictures, without changing the geometry of the rest of the model. Appreciate any help.

Thanks, dbw

Hi davidbwhyte,

It might depend on your version, but here is how you would do it for Inventor 2010 - Inventor 2014:

I think you can do the same thing mentioned above in Inventor 2015 also, but that version also has this:

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
