scaling in inventor

Is there any way possible to scale down an inventor assembly file?

I have assembled a model and I was wondering if there was any way to make that assembly half scale without redrawing?

Thank you for any help

I think the question would be what your application is. If you using the assembly to make parts you can just override the dimensions in the drawing. If you are trying to assemble this into another part then you will have to go back an modify the parts. Overall without knowing what the part looks like it seems like it shouldn't be that large of an operation. You can just go in and edit the sketches , redefining parts without redrawing them.

hope this help.

Thank you for your reply but there are too many parts to re-dimension everyone

Here is an image of the assembly file:

Re: scaling in inventor

Sean Dotson has an add-in that scales parts. I don't recommend it because I've never used one of these before, and I don't know if this works in all versions.
