|
This is actually a design decision of FreeCAD that the placement of an object doesn't allow to change the scale. But there are many workarounds to that, the simplest way is to use the Draft Clone tool, which allows to change the scale. |

This feature won't be implemented because scaling in cad design is considered a bad thing: http://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1341 Especially, with the used cad kernel when doing scaling you completely break the model because all underlying geometries will be converted from exact descriptions (line, ellipse, ..., plane, cylinder, sphere, ...) to b-splines curves or surfaces. This makes the model often useless for further operations -- especially boolean operations are mainly affected. Yorik suggested a way to scale if it's really, really needed. |
