Scaling Options for Geometry Translated from Parasolid File

• Scale Geometry to Current Part’s Units – When selected, the geometry in the file to be imported will be scaled to the units of measurement in the current part.

• Apply Specified Scale To Geometry – When selected, you will be able to specify a scale value in the editable field. This scale is then applied to the imported geometry.

• Ignore Units Mismatch – When selected, a mismatch of units between the import file and the current part will be ignored.

• Change Current Part’s Units to Meters and Change Modeling Tolerances – When selected, the units of the current part will be changed to meters, and the modeling tolerances will update accordingly.
