I have a part that I downloaded (as step format) from a manufacturers website. I opened it and did a save as to save it as a .prt.
When I go to insert it into an assembly, the part comes in not to scale. My assumption is that this part is done in metric and I know my assembly is inches.
Is there a way to down scale this part? or should I have done this when downloaded?
I am using Inventor 2011.
Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.
When you select a STEP file in the Open dialog, the Options button at the bottom is enabled. Near the bottom of that dialog is an Import Units selector. The default is Source Units, but you can select something else.
If you don't want to go through the import again, you can use derived parts to change the scale.
