      Greetings,

      I've attached two photos: Before and After. "Before" shows the EZDB-30 Package before I re-parent the EZDB-30 subcomponent. "After" shows the scaling problem that occurs when I re-parent EZDB-30.

      I constructed the two other "packages" shown in the same manner, but didn't experience this re-scale when I re-parented.

      Can someone tell me why it's re-scaling, and how to prevent it from happening?

      Thank you!

        Hard to really tell what your problem is but:

        • When you scale a component you don't change it's original instance saved in the model.
        • That specific component effectivelly displays as scaled but it is actually different from what you see in it's original state.
        • If you insert it from component browser (wich you seem to have open) it will be inserted at it's original scale.

        The same thing might happen in some other situations but what you have to be always sure of, is if your component is at a scaled size or the actual scale.

        For being sure of this you can use "reset scale" on the component in the rightclick context menu.

        Also you can insert a component at original scale, scale it to a new scale and them make it save that scale as if it was the original scale. You have to use "scale definition" from the rightclick context menu to do this.
