Hi!

It seems to be a simple task but I encountered problem with it:
I have a USB-C model, it's composed by different parts. Anyway I made it one single group.
Where can I find the measures of the group ? Width and Height for example.
And it's possible to change them?

I tried using the "scale" function but it only works in percentage ( similar to percentage, in reality it uses number like 1.0, 0.5 etc...)

What am I doing wrong ?


Thanks!

Ok perfect. The bounding box works in order to find the general measures of the object.
Thank you? One is solved. :D

About the way to change size of the object using the measures? Do I need Shark?
I'm using ViaCad Pro 11

There is not a way to scale a group via length, width measures.

However, from the transformation tools, use the scale by anchor, start reference, and end reference point. Where your start/end reference points can indirectly define your measure.

Ok Tim, thanks, I'll try. In my opinion it's an unusual way of working. Has the superior version ( Shark ) the same logic ?
