The scale feature allows the user to apply a simple multiplicative scale factor to the dimensions of the selected node and all of its children. The scaling function can be used on Optical Sources, Geometry, and Analysis Surfaces and multiple nodes can be selected simultaneously. System units are not scaled.
This feature is accessed by right mouse clicking on a node in the object tree and selecting "Scale" from the list menu.
For surfaces the following scaling is applied: •Curvatures (or radii) are scaled •Aspheric coefficients are scaled to maintain surface shape •Apertures are scaled •Grating frequency is scaled by 1/scale factor •Rendered coordinate axes are scaled •Position/Orientation offsets (shifts) are scaled •Position/Orientation angles are not scaled •Conic constants are not scaled
For curves the following scaling is applied: •Coefficients are scaled •Points are scaled •Rendered coordinate axes are scaled •Position/Orientation offsets (shifts) are scaled •Position/Orientation angles are not scaled
For sources the following scaling is applied: •Source size is scaled except for surface emitters and point sources •Rendered coordinate axes are scaled •Position/Orientation offsets (shifts) are scaled •Position/Orientation angles are not scaled •Ray count is not scaled
For analysis surfaces the following scaling is applied: •Rendered area is scaled •Aperture size is scaled •Rendered coordinate axes are scaled •Position/Orientation offsets (shifts) are scaled •Position/Orientation angles are not scaled
