Hi! Another option is to derive the assembly to a part and set Scale Factor to 2. What is the purpose of scaling all parts? For printing? Do you care about the geometry only?

Many thanks!

A bigger product. Still need to check after the scaling.

Hi! How big is the design? On Inventor, you will need to scale on an individual body per part basis. Or, you use Derive Assembly to scale up all the bodies within a part.

In Fusion 360, you can scale all components in one operation. You may want to look into that.

Many thanks!

I mean the dimension is bigger. The model is not that big.

Is it possible just enlarge in x-y plane, keep dimension in z axis unchanged?

Can you Attach your assembly here and indicate the desired scale factor for demonstration?

I think I prefer to derive from part. For a part made from steel plate, I want to keep the thickness. 

At the end, I think I need to manually scale all the sketches.
