Scale Sketch in One Axis Only

While searching I've found references to scaling in one axis for other CAD products, but not for F360 so far.  I have a sketch on an XZ plane, which I need to scale only in the Z axis:

Is there a way to do this in F360?

no, there is no non-uniform scale in sketch.  Usually, one does this using dimensions.  In this case, it would be some vertical dimensions on the fit points

Extrude a body, scale non uniform works on the body, project the new outline to a new sketch.

 

Might help.....

Hi Dave, I looked at Extrude, but not sure how you're using it.

 

I ended up using a plane at an angle that I calculated, and projecting onto it.  Worked fine, but a bit fussy.

 

Cheers, Max

Checking back I see that you don't have the blue shading, so extrude would not work out, unless it was a surface body.
