World Transform refers to global scale based on printer’s coordinate axis.

Local Transform refers to zoom scale based on model’s coordinate axis.

For example, we import a cube (X: 20mm, Y:10mm, Z:30mm) as Figure 1. Then rotate model 90 degrees in X direction. The world dimension is X: 20mm, Y:5mm, Z:60mm; Local dimension is X: 20mm, Y:60mm, Z:5mm.

Note: The World Transform data generated in new version of ideaMaker may not be able to be recognized properly in versions older than 3.40 which may cause the scale value changes when importing this .idea file.

Inch refers to changing size display from mm to inch.

Uniform Scaling refers to scaling the width, depth and height in the same scale.

Auto Fit to Build Volume refers that the selected model will be re-sized to the maximum allowable printing size.

The percentages at beside the size show the relative scale of the original size.

Figure 1: Drag arrows or adjust values on left to change the size of the cube.
