When you use Derive Part, the scale applies to all bodies based at origin point. If you want to keep the slot size, you should use Direct Edit -&gt; Move -&gt; Faces. instead. Or, you can derive it and change the slot size using Direct Edit.</P> <P>Many thanks!<BR /><BR /></P> Mon, 30 Mar 2020 21:18:22 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/slot-size-change-while-scaling-the-model-and-they-get-loose/m-p/9410699#M149102 johnsonshiue 2020-03-30T21:18:22Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/slot-size-change-while-scaling-the-model-and-they-get-loose/m-p/9412916#M149103 <P>OK, I will try the same.
