Is it possible to scale a body or component but not scale certain selected features? Specifically I want to avoid scaling hole and threaded hole features if possible.

if you have a parametric (history-based) design it is easy.  Reorder features so that the holes are all at the end of the timeline.  Insert a Scale feature before the holes.  You might have to relocate the holes.  If you do not have a timeline, then, no, there is no easy way to do this.  You could do something like:  delete the holes, scale the body, re-add the holes, but that sounds hard.

Thank you @jeff_strater, that worked perfectly. I never thought of scaling as a "feature" that can be inserted into the timeline. Brilliant!
