Choose the Scale Factor and other options as desired (for best. Select all of the solid bodies in the part to be scaled note you may need to access the Feature Manager and expand the Solid Bodies folder to select the bodies. From the assembly in SOLIDWORKS, select File, Save As, and choose Part (*.prt,*.sldprt) for the Save As file type. Access the Scale feature ( Insert > Features > Scale ).If the component is a Toolbox component.Visibility of the component from outside the model.You can use the following criteria to save an assembly as a simplified part: When saving an assembly as a part, you can include or remove components based on specified criteria to simplify the saved part. NOTE that a multi-body part will have different properties and capabilities than an assembly file. Alternatively, you can save the assembly as a multi-body part and scale this part in a single step. Please let me know your results using this procedure by leaving a comment below.To scale an entire SOLIDWORKS assembly, it is possible to scale each part independently, however this could be extremely tedious for an assembly with a large number of components. Click OK to select the scale and print area in the drawing. This option is found in the Print dialog and becomes available when the radio button for ‘Current screen image’ is selected. If you choose User-defined, set the ratio between paper units (in Millimeters or Inches) to drawing units. Print To print a portion of the active sheet: Use Pan SolidWorks eDrawings button pan Print To print the current sheet at its actual size: Select Active sheet. SOLIDWORKS Print Selection is used in situations where only a portion of a SOLIDWORKS drawing needs to be printed. This option is available only if the Model tab is active. The new value is saved as a document property in the SOLIDWORKS file so if you print the model again, the saved value is used still there. To do so, type a value for the scale factor. However, my HP Officejet all-in-one printer scales printed drawings by about 0.96 in the Y direction. Set the print scale: Select Fit to paper size to automatically scale the specified print range so that it fills the paper area you select. Under Scale, you can also choose to print your design at a scale other than 1, which is the current size of the model in SOLIDWORKS. For example, my Epson ink jet photo printer prints very accurately (as one might expect from a photo printer). If you drawing is still not actual size, it’s possible that your printer might be scaling the print. Your drawing should now print on one piece of paper at actual size. In the previous image, the page width is shown as 3.9202 inches, but my drawing measures exactly 5 inches on the printed page. NOTE: The “Page size” does not always match the actual page size. If your drawing is larger than the size of the paper, there is no way to avoid the print spanning multiple pages and still print at actual size. If is says pages from 1 to 2 (or any other number), your print will span multiple pages. Verify that the “ Tiled Sheet Print Range” shows “ Pages from: 1 to: 1“.In the Print option window, uncheck the “ Fit to page” and “ Use model extents” options.Thus, if your drawing is a one inch square, but the window shows six inches of space on each side of the square, the drawing will be spread across multiple pages when you print. This step is important because when you print, SketchUp will print not just your drawing but all the space around it too.
Resize the window to reduce the amount of white space around the drawing.to make the drawing as large as possible in the window: We will add the custom/missing sheet scale sizes directly into the document. Choose Camera -> Parallel Projection to produce a flat drawing with no perspective lines:.Choose Camera -> Standard Views -> Top to adjust the camera view so that you are looking directly at the face of the drawing you want to print, as shown in the following image:.To print at actual size in SketchUp, follow these instructions: AutoCAD, SOLIDWORKS 2012, SOLIDWORKS 2013. To verify that all the parts will fit together properly, it’s important that the paper models are printed at the exact size of drawings. Just the mustache needs to be assembled after printing ( see video example ). I like to create paper models of my robots before I cut parts out of acrylic on the laser cutter. Below is an example of a drawing in SketchUp that I used to create a layer of Blinky, one of my balancing robots: SketchUp is easy to use, and it doesn’t consume as much computer resources as SolidWorks. Although I use SolidWorks for most of my 3D modeling, I still occasionally use SketchUp for creating drawings that will be cut out with a laser cutter.
