Scale scales the carving to compensate for shrinkage after the extrusion has cooled.<br>

<br>
It is best to only change the XY Plane Scale, because that does not affect other variables. If you choose to change the Z Axis Scale, that increases the layer height so you must increase the feed rate in speed by the same amount and maybe some other variables which depend on layer height.<br>

<a name="Operation" id="Operation"></a><h2>Operation</h2>
<hr>
The default 'Activate Scale' checkbox is off. When it is on, the functions described below will work, when it is off, nothing will be done.<br>

<a name="Settings" id="Settings"></a><h2>Settings</h2>
<hr>
<a name="XY Plane Scale" id="XY Plane Scale"></a><h3>XY Plane Scale</h3>
Default is 1.01.<br>
<br>
Defines the amount the xy plane of the carving will be scaled. The xy coordinates will be scaled, but the edge width is not changed, so this can be changed without affecting other variables.<br>
<br>
<a name="Z Axis Scale" id="Z Axis Scale"></a><h3>Z Axis Scale</h3>
Default is one.<br>
<br>
Defines the amount the z axis of the carving will be scaled. The default is one because changing this changes many variables related to the layer height. For example, the feedRate should be multiplied by the Z Axis Scale because the layers would be farther apart.<br>
<br>
<a name="SVG Viewer" id="SVG Viewer"></a><h3>SVG Viewer</h3>
Default is webbrowser.<br>
<br>
If the 'SVG Viewer' is set to the default 'webbrowser', the scalable vector graphics file will be sent to the default browser to be opened. If the 'SVG Viewer' is set to a program name, the scalable vector graphics file will be sent to that program to be opened.<br>
<br>

<hr>
The following examples scale the file Screw Holder Bottom.stl. The examples are run in a terminal in the folder which contains Screw Holder Bottom.stl and scale.py.<br>
<br>
> python scale.py<br>
This brings up the scale dialog.<br>
<br>
> python scale.py Screw Holder Bottom.stl<br>
The scale tool is parsing the file:<br>
Screw Holder Bottom.stl<br>
..<br>
The scale tool has created the file:<br>
.. Screw Holder Bottom_scale.gcode</tt>
