PartDesign Scaled/en

Description
PartDesign Scaled is one of the transformation options of MultiTransform. Contrary to the other options it is not available as a separate tool. It turns a transformation result into a sequence of scaled objects with evenly distributed scale factors. Starting with the unscaled base feature of the previous transformation the scale factor increases or decreases until reaching the given value at the last item.



If there is no previous transformation within the MultiTransform feature, scaled items will be placed at the same position as the base feature. This may result in unexpected shapes if the base feature isn't covered completely by the scaled object. And thus it is not recommended to use Scaled as the first transformation of a MultiTransform feature.



Scaling a transformed feature

 * 1) Do one of the following:
 * 2) * Double-click the MultiTransform object in the Tree view.
 * 3) * Right-click the MultiTransform object in the Tree view and select from the context menu.
 * 4) The  task panel opens.
 * 5) Right-click in the  list and select  from the context menu.
 * 6) A  item is added to the list and the task panel is extended at the bottom to allow to set the  and . See Options for more information.
 * 7) Press the  bar at the bottom.
 * 8) Press the  button at the top to finish.

Scaling a single feature

 * 1) Select a feature of the current body in the Tree view.
 * 2) Do one of the following:
 * 3) * Press the button.
 * 4) * Select the option from the menu.
 * 5) The  task panel opens. See above.

Options

 * : The factor to which the last feature is scaled.
 * : Number of steps from unscaled (1) to (including base and last feature).
 * A scaled transformation accepts the number of occurrences of the previous transformation as maximum value or any integer divisor of that number returning an integer result. So, , , , and are valid for a Linear or Polar Pattern with 12 occurrences.
 * A scaled single feature accepts any integer number larger than 1.
