Is there a way to scale the planes to fit the current size of the model?
After scaling the model by a factor of .001, the planes are large and the model becomes very small. is there a way to scale the planes to fit the current size of the model

select the plane, grab a corner, and drag it in. Should work. You can certainly expand and shrink planes in non-scaled models in this way.
Hiding the planes will allow the model to fill the screen. The planes are usable when hidden, they are just not visible on the screen.
Thank you guys, solved the prob.
I agree with Mark and Dom.
If there are a lot of planes to adjust, then maybe a macro would help?

Option Explicit
Sub main()
Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks
Dim swModel As SldWorks.ModelDoc2
Dim swFeat As SldWorks.Feature
Dim PlaneCount As Long
Dim bRet As Boolean
Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
Set swModel = swApp.ActiveDoc
Set swFeat = swModel.FirstFeature
Do While Not swFeat Is Nothing
If "RefPlane" = swFeat.GetTypeName Then
bRet = swFeat.Select2(False, 0)
swApp.RunCommand swCommands_Auto_Size, ""
End If
Set swFeat = swFeat.GetNextFeature
Loop
End Sub
