This is originally a dxf of a toybox. I'd like to use this design to make a jewelry box meaning i need to shrink the vectors down. Since i have to take one part at a time from the overall dxf I need to shrink them down as seperate pieces. The only consistent measurement between the 2 sides and front and back is the height. how is the best way to shrink them down to say 5" tall by 13" (front&back) by 6" (sides) and keep the joints equal on all 4 pieces?

Load them all on one sheet in partworks and you can highlight them all at once and drag the diagonal corner down and shrink them all together.

after you scale it you will probably have to adjust the depth of the finger joints or the thickness of the material
