How About You?

Over time we have moved away from LARGE full size prints
(special "K" or "E") to now using 1/2 size "C", but mostly "B"
for drawings; yet keep cad file "E" (44x34) for the real estate.
I could sure use an active open menu or window to access
(ON THE FLY) the Drawing Configuration "Scale" Setup, the
Insert Component "Scale" schematic / "Scale" Panel that also
included and worked just like Insertion "scale" button portion
of Library Swap with Path access to Libs all in 1 convenient
location. I find myself jumping all over to create a B size for
field & shop work that is easy to handle and easy to read.

PS......forgot to include
a "Stretch Component" button,
a "Squeeze Component" button, and
a "Change Component Size / Scale" button.
We often have congested complex process on
each ladder rung on as many as 50-150 sheets

I just have a shortcut command I call svr for scale and variable reset. When I create a new drawing and need additional realestate, I type it in and give it my scale factor. That then updates all of the pertinent drawing environment variables like snap, grid, dimensions and text so I can still plot on a B sized drawing.

May not be exactly what you are looking for, but I hope that helps point you in the direction you want to go.
