Link texture size approriately to units

[kwilson_design]

I'm not sure how many of you out there runs into this but I would really love it if Inventor changed the texture scaling based off the units. Right now if you have your units set to inches the texture scale is by default set to feet. Obviously this because a tedious issue if all of your parts are relatively small because if you use custom textures you have to rescale each texture just so it looks somewhat decent. It would be really nice if your units was set to inches then your texture scale would also be set to inches. If you use feet for unit then make it so it changes back to feet for texture scale. Same for mm, cm, etc. It would save your users valuable time of having to rescale the texture to properly fit the parts. We do this A LOT with knurled surfaces and it gets old lol.

Crap, can a moderator or Autodesk person correct the typo in the thread title to include the other "p" for appropriately? I hate we can't edit our thread titles in the IdeaStation lol.
