scaling a whole assembly

    I want to use a third party assembly in one of my own assemblies but it is
    smaller than I require. Is there a simple tool or technique to rescale a
    whole assembly? It's not worth my time to insert design tables into the
    assembly and its parts and scale it that way.

    TIA,

    Steven

    If you're running SW2004 you can save the assembly as a part and then scale
    the part. (I think its Insert/Features/Scale, or you can open the mold tools
    menu.) If you're running older code, you might want to export it to
    Parasolid and then reimport it as a single part.

    This should also work in 2003 as described

    I believe this was available in 2003 also.
