How do I scale entire fusion design by a factor of 10?

I received an STL from a client yesterday that I've been using as a reference to recreate the model in F360, and I just now realized all of the dimensions from said STL are multiplied by a factor of 10. I am at a loss to why that would be, and I should have paid more attention to the dimensions in the first place, but at my current juncture I need to find a way to scale the entire design down. That includes sketches, bodys, ect. Help please!

From what I understand of your doubt you want to increase the scale of your project in 10x.

If this is necessary you can go to the Toolbar and select: modify and then scal, so you can select all bodies to apply the alteration evenly.


Hope this can help you!

I'm afraid you can't scale the whole design including sketches, all you can do is scale the finished model. As for the stl being 10x too big, did you upload through the data panel in Fusion? If you did the translation of files without unit information defaults to CM so that could be your problem.

 

If your problem was caused by importing through the data panel, next time use insert mesh on the insert menu and you can set the units for the import.
