My articles tend to get too long, so I've been trying to cut out details. Your comment reminds me that this web site could use a few articles about sizing and scaled drawings. - Chris Thanks for pointing that out, Adam!

It is always nice to have your work recognized by an expert. I think a lot of our users just take this kind of functionality for granted. Your readers may also want to know about the Line Weight formula in the speaker shape, LineWeight:=Height*0.02*User.AntiScale. This allows the bevel size to re-size intelligently with the height of the master shape so this one shape will look "right" no matter what the size. Lets see the Photoshop/Illustrator geeks top that!
