How do I resize an imported object/component

Hello.

I have imported a .svg and selected the entire object.

Now I want to resize it to 101.6 mm

How do I do that?

Thanks

The correct term is "scale" and this question has been answered many times. Here's one answer.

I saw some of that while trying to find an answer. Scaling doesnt appear to offer a way to simply type in 101.6mm

Was hoping there was a resize function somewhere.

How do I set the size to scale too?

I am not sure what you mean with that.

Pretty simple stuff in other programs.
Select the object, click on size and type something in.
Must be some way to adjust the size of your objects in this program.
Thanks

You don't need a button, you need elementary school math!

 

If you know a dimension of your object and have a target for dimension you are aiming for you just have to calculate the ratio and use that as the scale.

Well maybe YOU don't need a button. But I sure would like one. Thanks for your time but this is not answering the question at all.

Good day.....

I did answer the question. In Fusion 360 this is done with Scale.

 

Here's the button you'd be using for SVG's.

Edit;

Here's another Scale button:

My guess is, that there is no button, because it's pretty flexible with an factor. It's simple math:

 

My guess is, that there is no button like you want it to be a button, because it's pretty flexible with an factor. It's simple math:

 

target size / source size

 

Example 

 

40 / 30 = 1.333333333

20 / 30 = 0.666666667

 

No reason to be rough.
