When I import a part with curves on it and scale it the part scales but not the curves. Is there a way to get the curves to scale along with the part?

I'm sorry but I can't post the file because of customer confidentiality reasons.
Did you select every feature and sketch in the feature tree prior to scaling ??
I did select them all and it didn't make any difference.
Scaling a body is a different tool to scaling a sketch. You'd need to do two operations using the same point to scale around such as the origin.
If its a 2d Curve you can convert the curve and use scale entities.
If its a 3d Curve save the another copy of the part.
Open that part copy and delete all the geometry except the 3d Curve.
Save this file as an Iges file and in the options make sure the 3d CUrve is checked
Open this new iges file (you should see the curve)
Start a 3d Sketch and convert entities.
Delete all of the convert entity relations.
Now dimension one leg of your curve. It will start out at the original length but once you dimensions it say from 3 to 6 (2x scale) the rest of the entities will follow suit. That's because 2014 and on the first sketch scales then entire model.
Oh and insert part into the other part. If it shifted its easy to lay it back into position.
The short answer is no, there is no way to scale curves. One workaround is to create a short surface extrude with the curve, then you can include that surface body in the scale. Then after the scale one edge of that surface body represents your scaled curve.
Do one thing...
After scale ur part down or up..simply drag ur curve feature after ur scale feature in feature tree...
I have done this and its works for me.
Can you post the file so we can look at it?
