Scale Factor
Scale factor is simply a multiplier that lets you expand or shrink the print’s dimensions without per
forming complex calculations or affecting the proportion of the part. Simply enter the number that
you would like the dimensions to be multiplied by, then run the program as you normally would.
MILLPWR
will adjust the programmed dimensions (but not the tool size) automatically.
MILLPWR
’s scale default setting is 1.0000. A value greater than 1.0000 will increase the part’s
dimensions; a value less than 1.0000 will reduce them.
MILLPWR
will display the current scale factor in the status bar (located toward the top of the
display screen).
