Scale Factor

The scale factor may be used to scale the part up, or down. A scale

print. A scale factor >1 “grows” the part, and <1 “shrinks” the part.

is shown on the axis display.

The ON/OFF soft key is used to disable the current scale factors.

Mirror

A scale factor of -1.00 will produce a mirror image of the
part. A part can be both mirror, and scaled at the same
time.
