Making object wider while preserving features

[Anonymous]

I am new to fusion360. I have been modeling a case that needs to be 65mm wide. I accidentally made it 61mm wide. Is there a way I can fix this. I made a sketch then extruded it to get my object. HOWEVER, I cannot simply scale the entire object because I already have the corners with the exact measurements that I want.

If you attach your design (File->export as .f3d) we can show you.

 Have you watched any of the tutorials in the Learn section ?

If you recorded the design history, then it should be as simple as editing the sketch and changing the dimension (this is what parametric modeling is all about).

If you do not have Fusion set to record the history - then it will take a couple of extra steps.

Either way, I recommend that do as suggested and attach your file here for one of the experts to make suggestions on the appropriate technique to use in this case.

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?

Yes I do have design history. However how would I change the dimensions on a sketch (sorry, noob here)

Here is project file:

Just right-click on the sketch in the tree or the timeline and select edit sketch and change the dimension in the sketch and when you exit it should update.

Never mind you didn't fully define your sketch...you will need to do that first.

You have some sketch entities that seem off to me in the way you did them but take a look at this and see if it is what your after.

This is my first model in fusion so I am not sure, how can I define the sketch? Also, I had some trouble with making/modifying those rounded corners, I don't remember why I didn't do fillets. I am also not sure, how do I change the dimensions?

I made a video and as soon as it uploads I will post it, but you will see in the video how to edit a sketch. As I am editing the sketch you will see the lines turn black to indicate they are fully defined. I also show how to turn on fully defined sketches.

You will notice things turn black as they become fully defined. When things are fully defined that's what allows you to change a dimension and have everything update when you make changes to the sketch.
