      <p class="para_topic">Use this option to change the scale or size of the selected operation(s) or tool path(s) with respect to a reference point. After you choose Scale, you are prompted to define a reference point using the Point Constructor. NX recalculates the operation(s) or tool path(s) relative to the reference point, based on the factor. For example, if the scale factor is 2, the XC, YC, ZC coordinates are multiplied by 2. If the scale factor is 0.5, they are multiplied by 0.5.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">After you define the scale reference point, the Cam Transformations dialog displays. The dialog allows you to verify and/or change the transformation settings before the next transformation takes place and to carry out the desired transformation (Move, Copy, Multiple Copies, Instance, or Multiple Instances).</p>
