Hi!

I need to scale an object imported through CAD import module. I set center of scaling to (0,0,0). But when I do the scaling my object moves! It happens for both isotropic and anisotropic scaling. I've found that scaling works only when main faces of my object are parallel to the axis and scale factor doesn't equal to one for the only one direction.

Could anybody answer me why it happens and what can I do to fix it? Is it a bug?
Thanks a lot.

Liza

Hi

where is you object placed w.r.t. centre of scaling ?
if it's not "centred" it will certainly "move"

Good luck
