Scale
Scale objects around a point.
Syntax
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Scale");
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).selection(property);
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).set(property,<value>);
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).getType(property);
Description
Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Scale") to scale geometry objects.
Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).selection("input") to select the objects to scale. The default selection is empty.
The following properties are available:

Name
Value
Default
Description
color
none | custom | integer between 1 and the number of colors in the current theme
none
The color of the selection, either given as an integer indicating a color in the color theme, or as a custom color in the customcolor property. Coloring is only available when selresult in active.
contributeto
String
none
Tag of cumulative selection to contribute to.
customcolor
RGB-triplet
Next available theme color
The color to use. Active when color is set to custom.
factor
double | double[]
1
Scale factor(s).
input
Selection
 
Objects to scale.
keep
on | off
off
Keep input objects.
pos
double[]
0
Center of scaling.
selresult
on | off
off
Create selections of all resulting objects.
selresultshow
all | obj | dom | bnd | edg | pnt | off
dom
Show selections, if selresult is on, in physics, materials, and so on; in part instances; or in 3D from a plane geometry. obj is not available in a component’s geometry. dom, bnd, and edg are not available in all features.
workplanesrc
this | Part Instance feature
this
Part Instance feature to take the work plane from (in 3D only).
workplane
xyplane | Work plane feature
xyplane
Work Plane feature that defines the coordinate system (in 3D only). The default, xyplane, is the global Cartesian coordinate system.
If factor is an array, the inputs are scaled by the factor[i] in the ith coordinate.
For information about the selresult and contributeto properties, see Selections of Geometric Entities.
Additional properties are available with the Design Module, see Scale.
Example
The sequence below scales the unit circle by (1, 2) about (2, 3):
Code for Use with Java
Model model = ModelUtil.create("Model1");
model.component().create("comp1");
GeomSequence g = model.component("comp1").geom().create("geom1",2);
g.create("c1","Circle");
g.create("s1","Scale");
g.feature("s1").selection("input").set("c1");
g.feature("s1").set("factor", "1,2");
g.feature("s1").set("pos",new double[]{2,3});
g.run();
Code for Use with MATLAB
model = ModelUtil.create('Model1');
model.component.create('comp1');
g = model.component('comp1').geom.create('geom1',2);
g.create('c1','Circle');
g.create('s1','Scale');
g.feature('s1').selection('input').set('c1');
g.feature('s1').set('factor', '1,2');
g.feature('s1').set('pos',[2,3]);
g.run;
