Hello everyone, I'm an ing student. mechanics and I would like to know if there is a way to change scale to pieces already drawn in solidworks. I explain, I have already made 4 pieces of an overall and I am assembling them, the fact is that I have drawn them too small, as if the unit of measure were the cm, and instead are the mm, then a piece that normally should be 13 mm long (1.3 cm) I have drawn it of 1.3mm (0.13 cm).There is a way to correct the queues without having to manually intervene one by one, or if all? Thank you so much!!

Then:
1) as you are talking about mm and cm you don't understand what values you typed, but I think you typed 1.3 thinking about cm (orror... you are not a tailor) and swx set by default with the mm those did you. you must in any case make sure you have set swx to use the right measuring units then the mm for which you will type values in mm.
2) you could scale each model as mike indicated, but in your case it is wrong because you can't keep working in cm.
3) as long as you're in time you're gonna have patience and give up the odds by bringing everything back in mm, starting from the first sketch in the history tree and reactivating one at a time the next one so as to limit to the minimum the errors of reconstruction (if you do it only on the first and regenerate it is almost sure that a casino happens)
