    Re Scaling Slots without altering the size of the model

    Is it possible to rescale slots on a dxf/cad plan without acctually altering the size of the model? There are times when we have ply delivered it has a 0.5mm difference in thickness. We have therefore had to re-size our plans and end up using more ply and making the models 10 - 15% larger than planed. Thanks

    It depends.
    If they are just 2D drawings, then yes. But, if you have a lot of them,could be a long and tedious process.
