Scaling the matrix

[Roland Melkert]

gonal to the parts themselves. How would I calculate the scale factor to stretch the assembly in the X direction?

1. Put a temporary pin at the other end of the 1x8 brick to get a rotation angle using selection info.
2. Apply the rotation
3. Select the 1x8 brick and set relative gird ( o )
4. Press enter to edit the reference.
5. Put  1.01242 in the top left matrix field.

Do note it's not 'officially' supported to scale stuff at the model level in LDCad.

Main thing to keep an eye on is to select something non scaled before adding new parts, or those will be scaled too.
